September 16, 2008 – The Speed River Cycling Club is proud to present three days of cyclocross racing action as part of this year’s Southern Ontario Cyclocross Series. Both novice and experienced cross racers are encouraged to come out and test themselves at these events made possible thanks to the generous support of our race sponsors: Speed River Bicycle, Even Construction, Battlefield Equipment, Vittoria, Geax, Wellington Brewery, Kona, Hammer Nutrition.

First up is the Guelph Cross on Sunday September 28th. This event introduces a brand new venue, the Joe Kaine Fields at Centennial Park Guelph. Located off of Municipal Street (see website for map) this urban park offers lots of varied terrain with fast off camber and hard cornering on steeper grass sections.

Then the 5th Annual Halloween Cross Stage Race is back on Saturday October 25th and Sunday October 26th at Kelso Conservation Area, Milton. This two-day event is Ontario’s only cyclocross stage race. Each day offers a separate race course consisting of a fast mix of rolling hills, pavement, gravel, grass and sand, barriers and obstacles, with the possibility of one extended run up.

There are cash and merchandise prizes up for grabs each race day, along with a separate prize purse for the stage race GC. See the website for complete details.
