3 The Course The course (designed by Stephen Cooley and Neil Clarke) is sure to please. With its technical grassy sections, wild BMX bumps, double run-up and crazy sandpit is easy enough that most riders will find parts of the course they are great at, however, mastering the course will require a strong but quick racer. The wheel-pit will be accessible from two sides of the course and riders are treated to seeing their competition face-to-face in many sections. *please note that this map is drawn as close to accurate as possible, however the barriers have not yet been indicated. Course subject to change if weather causes any potential hazards. Provincial Cyclo-cross Technical Guide - 3 -
