The future of downhill racing on Bear Mountain?

Will there be another Bear Mountain Challenge? Will there be a Bear Mountian race at all?

Come help decide and organize such an event.

Meet:
6:00pm January 17, 2006 (Wednesday)
33245 N. Railway Ave. Mission

Bruce (of Wentings) is quite keen on getting this rolling, and there’s alot to do, so come on out to discuss the future of MTB racing on Bear Mountain.

Please bring along any event ideas and any friends, enemies or relations who would like to be involved. Bruce would like to divide up the responsibilities surrounding the event, and decide on a date.

We should be able to rip through a reasonable agenda in an hour.

Thanks for your support - Don’t let racing on Bear Mountain die!!

Gearing up for the 2006 Bear Mountain Challenge

The Bear Mountain Challenge is gearing up again for another banner year. Visit their web site for details.

Volunteers are desperately needed. You can contact us at ride@FVMBA.com, but better is to visit the Bear Mountain website and register as a volunteer there. It’s easy, painless and quick - and adds huge Karma points. If you plan on racing, bring a buddy (or spousal unit, or personal companion) and have them volunteer.

I rode the course on July 19th. Sweet! The berms have been polished and are in primo condition and some new gaps have been built. I was there to witness some test runs as the builders were just finishing their day. Smoooooth.

It’s gonna be a fast, fun race.
