Rumors have been flying as of late about me putting on a cross event next Sunday. Here is the up to the minute scoop.
I thought that I had secured Strathcona Tweedsmuir School for the race, however they contacted me this past Friday and told me it was a no go. They have recently upgraded their trail system and feared we would damage their investment. This is a completely legitimate concern and I understand fully, however the late ruling puts me in a difficult spot.
Fortunately I have some friends with connections and I should know by tomorrow morning if an alternative venue with Calgary Parks has been secured. I scoped out the park in question today and if we get the go ahead it is going to be like no race Alberta has ever seen before. I promise a pure bred cross experience that should bring us all back to the roots of the sport after straying the last couple of weeks.
I have secured numerous sponsors and I aim to have a solid prize purse as expenses with this new venue will be limited.
Stay tuned to pdotproductions and the ABA for details to be released soon. I want to make this happen and give back to a cycling community that has been incredibly supportive throughout my years racing in this province.
The fate of East End Supercross 06 is in the hands of the City of Calgary. May they make the right decision.
Stay Tuned!
