Good news - it looks like the OrrvilleCross schedule will be up soon according to this forum post:

OrrvilleCross Series 2008
by JCDuckboy on August 19th, 2008, 10:38 pm

OrrvilleCross Series 2008 REVISED DOWN TO TWO RACES-NO SERIES AWARDS!!!!!
OCC will be hosting the 5th Annual OrrvilleCross Cyclocross Series once again this year. Race Dates are as follows:
Sunday October 5
Sunday October 19
Sunday October 26

Start times will be announced later but will be in the early afternoon.
A-B-C race formats, USCF Rules Apply, license required, one-day licenses available, series champions will be crowned. All races will take place at The University of Akron Wayne College campus in Orrville. The course will change slightly each week and will be a bit different from last year as there is now a building being constructed on part of the old course. (Don't worry, we'll make it interesting!) Our Orr Park Course will be closed this year as the City relocates a portion of the creek which runs through the course. We may be back to a two venue series next year. We are skipping the October 12 date because of the OMBC Fox Creek race which takes place right in our back yard at Clay's Park. Lots of our guys race the series and we don't want to make them choose between an hour of extreme suffering and 2 hours of moderate-to-intense suffering

Shoot!

Our cycling club Chagrin River Cycling (http://www.crcycling.org) has a 'cross race planned for October 5th at Leroy Township Park. We're deep into the permit and planning process.

I tried to contact OC to coordinate the local calendar. I'd hate to split the local field beween races.

If someone from Orrville is reading this blog, please contact me.

Follow up comments here will be emailed to me.

Thanks,
Kevin Kimmich

One more try...

Maybe the spam filters in Orrville are dropping my emails, so I'll post another message here.

Is the 5th a solid date for the OCC series?

I've scheduled the venue and official for the October 5th date, but of course want to avoid holding two races on the same day in Northeast Ohio.

I'd like to move ahead with preparations for the race since there is still quite a bit to do.

Can someone from OCC let me know by today (Monday) if you have any flexibility in the October 5th date?

Many Thanks,
Kevin Kimmich
