Get your cyclocross bikes, costumes and legs ready for BC Cup #3 – the 5th Annual Pumpkin Cross cyclocross race in Maple Ridge Oct 23, 2011. This Halloween-themed race will once again have a costume contest, with bonus prizes for anyone who can win their race while in costume. It’s going to be a blast!
Location and Parking
We will once again be using the Maple Ridge Equi-Sport Centre, located on Park Lane just off of 132 Ave. in Maple Ridge. Click here to get directions. Racers will be treated to a fabulous course, with some spooky technical twists, like a monster sand pit, plenty of slimy off camber grass, some screaming fast gravel, wicked barriers, and the dreaded Coffin.
***Note: Please no pre-riding of the course until race morning. This is horse territory and horses and bikes tend not to get along. Thank you for your understanding.
