Here we go!!!!
This year Qualicum Cross returns with a super-fast course to spin up those pins!!!
We have to cut a bit of the original course because there is an event at the Civic Centre which we will be coexisting with — but coexist we shall, and we shall rise to the occasion!!!
This means more spectating and a few extra fast laps, which also means please pass and coexist kindly.
The course is wide open and very good for coexistence — and we know and love each other.
Hot Dogs
Hot dogs will be a grillin’ and cross racers will be a chillin’…
The Hot Dog Guy will be there. He is several years into it now, so even better than ever — and damn handsome to boot!
Bike Wash
Bike wash is available at the rear parking lot at Big Grin Bikes.
