Yes to Cam re the wheel covers, though I do not do want to use corplas as it's simply too thick for what I want to do.

so what time do these provincials you speak of start at? I assume it's on the east side of the park?

I was told 10am and 1pm, though I do not know where they are racing.
The map in Wes's link has them on the Broadview side.
Big plastic cups for the Beer Ups™?
Caira, my 11 year old wants to come too, I'm stoked. We'll more than likely both come on our SSs.

11:30 is Master2 Men, Master/Elite Women 50 Minutes.
1PM is Senior Elite Men and Master 1 Men. 60 Minutes. All the fastest guys from Ontario plus Wes.
We will be working/riding/partying at the park all day and well into the evening on Saturday. We have tents, heaters, BBQ, beverages on site from Saturday morning if anyone wants to stop by. There is talk of a few "Loonie Races" on Saturday if yall want to try a real Cross course for kicks.

Nashbar right now has Campy Centaur carbon cranks on for $150. A good deal I suppose.

Any of you fine gentlemen (or ladies) have some North Road/Nitto Albatross/VO tourist handlebars, or know where to get them locally?
something like this:
I have some moustache bar knock-offs from Urbane for trade if interested.

Personally, I really like square taper BBs because they seem to spin nicer, and they're easy to remove, clean, etc.. Just like anything else, though, you get what you pay for - OEM RPM BBs are nothing compared to good Shimano or Campy BBs.
While I was coming back from Home Hardware this morning, I got a look at someone riding Surly Cross Check. Those are much nicer bikes in person, IMHO. Wonder how heavy they are.
using this id until my ban is lifted... ssshhh

chris king bb *droooool*
my shimano *external* bb was working great *till the frame died* no noise, and the bearings are still clean (about a year of riding, half of which was in the winter/snow/slush/grit/bsblacksnowgrit****tystuff)

"Night: Periods of snow. Amount 5 to 10 cm. Wind becoming east 20 km/h overnight. Temperature steady near zero."
Considering temps are supposed to stay low, I'd say we'll be having a snowy CX provincials again, too.
