While we here at Ottawa BMX had hoped to extend our race season through October and essentially into the first weekend of November, it has been the weather gods who had other ideas in mind.  Due to the wet weather, and most recently the snow that we have had in Ottawa, we have no choice at this point but to declare the 2008 race season as Finished.

Ottawa BMX would like to thank the efforts of all parents and volunteers, along with those who supported the club financially, without everybody this season would not have been the success it was.  A congratulations to all of the riders who came out week after week to take part in this great sport known as BMX Racing.

We will be scheduling our Annual General Meeting within the next week and we extend an open invitation to all parents and riders who wish to attend as we will be starting the process of moving forward for the 2009 season as well as voting for the 2009 Executives, so come on out and vote, get your voice heard, and hey even nominate somebody who you feel is suitable for any one of the poistions available, and that includes yourself!  Details of our AGM such as date, time, and executive positions available will be posted shortly and we hope to see you there.

The ABA Points will not be finalized until December 31, 2008, so if you’re travelling someplace warm within North America before the new year, check to see if there may be a local ABA track and take your bike along, as any points earned will be added to your total here in Ottawa, or alternatively, if travelling after the new year, get a jump start on the rest of the competition if you’re able to race before our season kicks off in the spring!

Once again, a huge thank you to all parents, volunteers, and financial contributors, we could not have done this without you!
