This past weekend I was running through High Park in Toronto and I noticed what looked like a cyclocross track. Does anyone know of any races in High Park or Toronto?
I don't think theres anything in Windsor

On a side note: High park is awesome to run through. I would recommend it to everyone

Hahaha - i live right by there and i don't know of a cyclocross track there - are you talking about in the south end of the park? It's entirely possible that I just don't know about it!

There is an area where there's a kind of bike jumping spot. Haven't spent any time there myself but when running by i've seen teenagers in there with BMX bikes.
Thanks, I love the park too!! It's awesome! Lots of hills - gotta be strong for it!

Yeah It was an awesome run. I was pretty hungover and still managed and hour run, just so much to look at. I circled where I saw some hurdles and some bike trails. Not sure if that the south of the park though.
My brother lives on Abbott Ave, around Dundas and Bloor.

The part you circled is Dog Hill - it's a dog off-leash area and is almost always packed with dogs, so no cyclocross trails, I'm afraid.

There's a cyclocross race this Sunday November 15th.  I don't know where or when - but I'll find out for you - or call Ambassador Bikes or The Bike Shop in Windsor and ask.  (I'm going to the Velodrome in London on Sunday - otherwise I'd go watch...)

You should come up to the Velodrome!  No - I'm not into cyclocross.  I have a mountain bike that I've never ridden (appropriated from a friend) that I really should get out on.  I'd like to hit a Thursday ride - but I'd have to skip swimming.

Here's the info:
Cyclocross is big in Windsor during the spring and fall. The ESRs and Mondo groups do the CCC Pizza Run on the Greenway every thursday at 6:00 from the Ciociaro. This is a ride for both cyclocross and mountain bikes. It is a straight gravel path, but good endurance training. It is about a 2 to 2.5 hour ride then pizza in the members lounge after.
  
I've seen many groups of cross riders in Malden, and as soon as the snow flies, the roadies will be in Malden on cross bikes every Saturday and Sunday.
