Is anybody attending the above mentioned race? My plan was for this was my first race to be my first one back on the Canadian circuit is the plan, but I have no way of getting there. I'd like to pre ride the course as well, when are other people planing on going? What are you guys thinking about this race?
I think it's time to show how hard we ride and how fast we are! Should be some first timer O-cup racers out this year, right? Get stoked folks!! I sure am!

Carly's Pre-Ride Status = Maybe-> Likely not happening due to the lousy weather forecast

I am getting there from Caledon not Guelph, sorry! & the vehicle is most definitely full with 4 bikes, and 5 family members that are stoked for the first o-cup day of racing and cheering. Sorry Chris! |

I should be attending this race, providing I don't suffer any additional fluke injuries. I may have a car and may have a bike rack, depending on some schedule juggling.

They used this course in 06 and 07. I found it to be a little more forgiving overall, but there are a few weird steep hill approaches where conserving momentum (ie. knowing your lines) will be an easy way to make time. |

The course was really fun to race, but would probably be super boring just to ride...really fast, nothing technical, a couple of tricky rooty climbs but other than that not very interesting! Thankfully no one got rained on How was Springbank?? Looks like the Guelphites didn't fare too badly there either! |

Hmm! Sounds like I would have liked the course  Springbank was fun, but very wet. Started raining half way through my race, and didn't stop until after the boys finished! |
