"Rain, rain go away... Island Cup Series is under way"


Spring should bring warm days, sunshine and green grass. On Sunday (March 13th) it brought chilling winds and heavy rain to much of the Island. Ninety-six brave souls ventured to Hartland Mountain Bike Park just outside of Victoria for the first race of the season.

So far in 2011, winter has brought some big storms, lots of cold temperatures and significant snow to the capital city. It seems to have trimmed many riders' winter training and was apparent to many that their off season training was less than normal. Icing on the cake for some was an additional lap for intermediate and expert class riders.

Thankfully, the heavy rain stayed away, save for a few drops here and there. The course was still muddy and technical but could have been much worse. It was wonderful to see full groups in all categories, including beginner women, and we hope this is a sign of the season to come.

We christened our brand new podium with the first winners for 2011 and for a unique trophy, gave giant homemade cookies!

Sponsors include Norco Products, Pearl Izumi, Cycles Lambert, GU, Continental, Niterider and Pro City Racing.  Big thanks to Pro City Racing for hosting the event and to all of the volunteers that stood in the cold wind for the duration of the day.

What a great event to kick off the Island Cup for 2011.

Our next XC Race is this Sunday, March 20th, in Powell River, our first trip to the Sunshine Coast!

The 2011 Vancouver Island Cup Mountain Bike Race Series is BC's premiere grassroots race series, spanning the length of Vancouver Island. Cross Country, Downhill, Super D and Marathon disciplines are brought together from numerous local mountain bike clubs.

If you're a first timer, seasoned pro or just out to have some fun we would love to see you experience mountain bike racing on Vancouver Island.
