The organizers are also looking for on-course volunteers for marshalling and cheering, volunteers for course set up in the days leading up to the race, and again for course tear down following the race. For more info or to volunteer, please contact Chris Stromgren at [email protected].

Here’s a notice from BC Bike Race to the local community:

NEW IDA VIEW TRAIL

In case you haven’t heard, the trail is open and ready to use! Here’s a few route ideas to make the most of this new connection between South Canoe and Rubberhead:

• South Canoe to Rubberhead: 19 km and 800 m climb
• South Canoe/Larch Hills loop: 27 km and 870 m climb
• Or, if you don’t have much time, you could ride Ida View up and down (8.4 km and 385 m climb). It’s great in both directions!

Our president was out riding it recently, here’s what he saw. This email’s banner image is also from Ida View.

FALL GO BY BIKE WEEKS

Dates have been announced for this fall’s Go By Bike Weeks! The event will run from October 3rd to October 16th this year. Register at gobybikebc.ca, ride your bike and get a chance to win some great prizes.

FAT BIKING

Back-to-school has us thinking about the colder months… and about fat biking! Our volunteers are planning on grooming the trails again this year for everyone’s enjoyment.

If you’d like to make a donation towards the upcoming season, please do so on our website. You can add instructions to make sure your donation goes towards winter grooming. Thanks in advance for your contribution!
