Cycle cross

September 26, 2009 in Information by Molly Turnbull | No comments

The Edmonton Road and Track Club & Revolution Cycle Presents:
Saturday Sept. 26th, 2009
‘School of Cross’. Royal Gardens Park (4030-117 Street)

This is a cycling event. Not just a race! Bring your families, kids, dogs, grandparents–everybody. There will be a number of activities throughout the day to keep everyone entertained, such as a cycling skills clinic, face painting and there will be a fire truck on site! It’s going to be a fun day!
The Course
This is a true European, World Cup style course with man-made stairs, barriers, sandpits and even a really hairy descent. The City of Edmonton is allowing us to use part of the road on 117th street and Royal Road. This rarely happens in Alberta, with the start being on the road. The course is very spectator friendly with many excellent locations to watch all the action.
Parking
Parking is available at Richard Secord School and St. Boniface School
