The following cyclocross races are tentatively planned. They are not part of the club race series. No points for workers or riders.

24 19-Sept, 9:00 am Sat Cross   Orleans Park   Main, Thourot
25 10-Oct Cross   Grand Rapids -TT  on the Towpath   Main, Thourot

The TT will start at the east end of the park area where the canal boat travels. More specifically, where the tow path switches from two-track to gravel.  The turn around for the event will be west of the bend view shelter house.  On race day a cone or person will mark the point.  

Parking will be at Providence Metropark at 13827 US 24 West (at SR 578), North side of the Maumee River.  Follow this link. Park in lot, cross over the footbridge to the Towpath.

If the event begins at 9:00 the last rider will be finished before 10:00, and that portion of the towpath shouldn't be too busy even at that time.   Still, members must be advised to extend courtesy to others using the trail, especially when passing other trail users.  

26 24-Oct Cross   Mark & Page's Place   Main, Armstrong
27 7-Nov Cross   Canceled   Conflict with Iceman
