On Sunday, November 4th, the Barrie Cycling Club held its 1st Annual Sunnidale Park Cross Race under mostly overcast skies in Barrie. However, the weather held for the day and 130 racers and numerous spectators were treated to a fast and exciting day of racing.
The 2.5km course had a mix of everything, including: hard-packed fast double track, grassy sections, the switchback descent leading to the stair run-up, quickly followed by the „corkscrew‰.

Judging from feedback received from all participants, the course was a hit, with numerous vantage points making for great viewing of the entire course. Sunnidale Park turned out to be a spectacular setting for fall cyclo-cross racing.

In the Senior Men's field, Andrew Watson, riding for the Barrie Cycling Club, took a well deserved win on his home course. He was followed by Peter Morse ( Jet-Fuel Coffee) in 2nd and Kyle Douglas (3 Rox racing) in 3rd. In Senior Women, Jill Vale (Coach Chris) took the win followed by Sue Trimble Haviland (Norco) in 2nd and Christina Bouchard in 3rd.


The BCC would like to thank the following sponsors who helped make this event possible:

The BCC would also like to thank all of the racers and spectators who attended and helped to make this event a huge success.
