Pumpkin Cross returns to Maple Ridge on Sunday
Cyclists across the country are dressing up for Halloween
On Sunday, Oct. 30 Maple Ridge, B.C. plays host to Pumpkin Cross, the annual fun cross event at North Alouette Greenway Park. The day before Halloween, riders are encouraged to sport their best costumes as they take to the course for the BC Premier Cross Series event. Rain on Saturday is due to give way to clear skies on Sunday meaning excellent cross conditions with mud for the riders but nice conditions for spectators.

Giant Bicycles is preparing some appropriately themed props for the course along with support and prizes while you can get your caffeine bump with Kicking Horse Coffee which will have samples and prizes. There will of course also be a prize for the rider with the best costume , a competition that will surely be tightly contested.
Day of registration is available ($40 cash only) while racers with VCXC timing chips are requested to bring it to the race. Racing gets underway at 10 am with the single speed race capping off the day at 12:34pm and the podium ceremony at 1:30pm. For more information about Pumpkin Cross visit localride.ca./pumpkin-cross
