OK Cross on the Rock Series Podium finishers. We have the prizes all sorted out for 2nd and 3rd that we were missing at the awards. The clock is ticking......we don't want Frontrunners Victoria, Cumberland and Nanaimo to be responsible for these forever so lets say pick up by the 13th. That gives you lots of time!
Nanaimo Racers (and Chemainus) - Prizes are ready for pick up now.
Victoria Racers (And Cobble Hill) - Prizes will arrive tomorrow
Cumberland, Courtenay, Comox and Campbell River - Prizes will be there for Saturday.
Port Alberni - You three.....not sure when they will get there but we will update in the comments!
Next up - The newsletter for the year!!

SECRET PARKING for TOMORROW!!
We all know the parking at the Broad Street Cycles GP is TIGHT. We posted Roland's map of additional parking in the area to use tomorrow. BUT friend of , Matt Klymson sent us this note earlier in the week: the easiest parking solution is different from any of the options described and marked on your instructions. There are about 200 spaces in a large public lot just another 100 metres away, which is used for people visiting the lake or the YMCA. No restrictions, free of charge.
Map attached.
Registration closes at 6:00pm tonight!
Weather looks amazing!
