Cowex Cross – October 27th

Want to get FIRED up for CoweX?  Start by watching Roland’s Video from 2022!

Location: Cowichan Exhibition Park – 7380 Trans-Canada Hwy, Duncan, BC V9L 6B1
            -55 minute drive from Victoria
            -33 minute drive from Nanaimo
            -Right off the highway North of Duncan

Parking: (SEE THE MAP) There is a HUGE parking area.  Look for the signs on the right immediately as you enter the exhibition.  We have overflow parking if needed but doubtful it will be. Do NOT park where you should NOT park!  Please do not drive up into the race venue to park as space up there will be tight.

Registration: If you need to register or switch your category it will be located at the Stratford Room.  Washrooms will also be around the same building, try not to wear your muddy CX shoes into the bathrooms PLEASE.  We are expecting A LOT of mud this weekend and the cleaner we leave the washrooms the better.  There is also a second washroom located near the Exhibition Office that will be open.

Team Tents: See the attached map.  The pits will be located close by the team tents as well.

Course:   Think grass, hills, MUD, tractor pull, sawdust and some climbing (not quite Bowen).  It will be a bit more of a traditional European style course with plenty of COTR flair thrown in for good measure, maybe even another epic whirly or two.  As of right now we are thinking the field will be less of a quagmire then last year but we have hoses so rest assured there will be MUD!!.  You will have to be there to see it.  The run up will also remain from 2023/2023!  There is some fresh work on the field that we will have taped off so please no riding on it!

Food Trucks:  Our food truck has fallen through at the last minute and are looking for other options.  If anyone knows of a food truck looking for events send them my way!!

Costumes:  It is almost Halloween so we want to see everyone out dressed up to their best.  We will have a best costume podium and prizes!

Warming Up:  We are not the only group using the park that day so please refrain from riding around the taped off main grounds as we don’t want Cyclist’s riding around where cars are present. 

Bike Wash:  We will have a Muc Off pressure washer for racers to use and clean up afterwards.

Prizing: Prizing and awards will be provided by Cycle Therapy Bikes in Duncan, Eleven Speed Coffee, Cycles West. Hotel Zed and Muc Off!!  Plus Riverway Dental for the Hot Lappers and kids races (HLC Bike and Pete also secured us some EVOC Waterbottles for the kids races for this one)
