COTR 2013: Save the Dates.

We have already been getting quite a few e-mails asking for information and dates for our 8th Cross on the Rock Season. While I can’t give you too many details as we are working on a “Top Secret” series unveiling what I can tell you is that you should mark the following dates off on your calendar, lap top, smart phone, write on your hand or just quit your job for the fall.

COTR Dates for our 8th Season, 2013

• September 29th .
• October 14th . (Thanksgiving Monday)
• October 20th.
• October 27th
• November 9th.
• November 10th .
• November 24th .

While you are at it you should probably mark off November 30th and December 1st on your Calendar as well as this will most likely be National Championships in South Surrey’s dates. Since it might be a few more years before it makes it back to the West Coast….you should plan on closing out your season at that event.

We have a few changes to venues and courses this year and are also working on…..well we are always working on something….can’t give too much away just yet.

In the meantime there is plenty of racing to keep you busy. Check out the Island Cup MTB series starting this Sunday in Victoria http://www.islandcupseries.com . A lot of the clubs are starting up their events as well for both road and mtb. Make it a goal to try to race a non-local club race this year. It is always fun to check out the grass roots in another town or area.

In addition if you are looking for one of the coolest train RUN races (yes cross racers should RUN year round!) on the Island. Point to Point. Around 13k. a LOT of cookies. Famous Easter Egg hunt for kids. You should check out the Fletchers Challenge run in Nanaimo on Good Friday (March 29th this year). http://rocnanaimo.com/running.html

RUMBLE!!!!

After Rumble (http://www.drinkrumble.com) came out and supported the Binab GP at Western Speedway last fall we talked to Kim about coming on board as a series sponsor….and they said “YES”. So we look forward to working with Rumble for the upcoming season. I will give you more details about what exactly they are sponsoring in upcoming newsletters.
