2007 Tuesday Night Midweek Criterium Series - Users Guide:

Who is this designed for ?

The scratch (main) group is for Senior 1/2, fast Juniors, top Women and rapid Masters. Others can place themselves in the handicap group if there is one that week. Slower riders should ride the Monday night Learn-To-Race events instead.

Several times each season there are Points races, as well as Jack Wierzbicki Prestige Series races.

What kind of bike do I need?

Any road bike with drop bars in good working order.

What do I need besides a bike ?

You are required to be a member of an OCA affiliated club or hold a UCI/CCA Racing License or an OCA Citizen Permit. If you aren't a member of a club you can join the Midweek Cycling Club or another OCA affiliated club. Citizen Permits will be available for purchase at the events.

What are the fees ?

Tuesday night events are $5 for Midweek CC members and $9 for non-members.

This year we are introducing a Season's Pass: Midweek members pay $60 and non-members pay $99.

When and where is it ?

The events run every Tuesday from April 17 until August 28, with the exception of statuatory holidays. In April, there will only be one start time, at 6:45 for all riders. Beginning in May, when there is more daylight, the intermediate and elite groups will each have their own start times: 6:45 and ~7:15, respectively. Consult the calendar for more info.
