Cross Article and Vancouver Island info
this great cross article appears in the Fall 2006 issue of Bicycle Paper.
"It’s Time to Get Dirty"
By Joe Sales
"As summer draws to a close, all Northwest cyclists can sense the days getting shorter, the thermostat beginning to drop, and we begin to cope again with the relentless rain. All of these changes will combine to make our daily lives on our bikes more of a challenge. For an increasing number of us however, it is a time to celebrate because it means the cyclocross season is upon us, and it's time again to get out and get dirty. The Northwest has a long history of a vibrant and active cyclocross scene, and 2006 promises to be one of the very best yet. With lots of new venues added to the calendar as well as several new races, there should be something for everyone, from the new and inexperienced racers wanting their first taste of cross's delicious nectar to nationally ranked elite racers looking to gain form and fitness for national and international competition. Indeed, if you love 'all things cross all the time', you would be hard-pressed to find a better location than the beautiful Northwest to spend a season attending the myriad of races and local series'. There is quite literally something for everyone."

and this news coming out of Vancouver Island....
All Cross All the Time (at least on Vancouver Island)
September 13, 2006
With the leaves just starting to turn a little colour and the weather about to get a little colder we are pumped to have the first ever Island Cup Cyclocross series kicks off next Sunday, September the 17th at Diver Lake Park in Nanaimo. This will be a four race series with stops in Nanaimo (September 17th), Courtenay (October 15th), Victoria (October 29th) and Parksville (November 12th) this year. We are hoping to promote cross at the club racing level and get more people involved in the sport. For these four events you will only need your regular club license or a cycling BC license. The first three races can also serve as a tune up for Cross Nationals to be held at Beban Park in Nanaimo on November 11th with the series final the next day in Parksville at Fletchers Farm.
Categories: Beginners, Intermediate, Masters, Women and Experts. We also have a free kids race. Mountainbikes (and of course cross bikes) are allowed in all categories. For more information you can check out the web site at Island Multi Sports.
