The last cx race of the season is this weekend in Barrie. If you don’t like climbing this is the race for you. I assume we’re going through the sand, but I can’t tell from the course map. The tech doc is available, you have to go to the Ontario Cycling calendar event to see it [here](https://ontariocycling.org/event/cx-ocup4/).

There’s some info on their website including the registration link. Reg closes tomorrow night, Nov 2 so don’t delay if you plan on going.

At least the price is low. Full price is $50 which isn’t bad.

I’m on the fence if I’ll go or not. I would like to get some more upgrade points, but the two hour drive is always a bit of a deterrent. I do have a set of wheels to return to a racer that left them at KWCX, so if I don’t go hopefully there are a few others that will make the trip and could take the wheels.

Anyone else interested?

If you could that would be great. I’m going to sit this one out. Hopefully I’ll get in a race or two more next year.

I’m still on-the-fence and need to decide tonight. Anyone else going in M2? My boys are away but I might be convinced to share a drive.

I’ve raced Baseball cross twice. It isn’t that technical and has almost no climbing, but the sand section is fun and the course is fast.

I think I’m gonna end the season on a high (errr, high mid-pack) from Toronto cross.

As usual, right after the race I was all excited “ok, baseball cross next week, come on!!!”. Then I checked Maps and saw the ~ 2 hour drive…

I’m out, working all weekend.

I think Dan might be the only one going up. Christie Cross was a great way to finish off the season.

Thanks Mark & Kevin. I was only able to do one O-Cup this year but it was a good one. I think I’ll also skip Baseball given the 2 hour drive.  
Although if my boys end up racing provincials near Ottawa I might still get another Ontario race in. And maybe the (non-championship) race at Nationals in Levis, QC since that course is a lot of fun. Late November probably means a good chance of snow 🙂

I’ll be there racing M2, we have family in the area so we are going up Saturday morning and staying the night.
