OPEN HOUSE

We had a really great turn out for the Open House. If you weren't able to make it out there, you still have the ability to have your opinions heard. We have attached the comment form PDF. Simply fill it out and fax or email it to the City.

During the Open House we also had an opportunity to ask some hard questions about the other bike parks in Surrey which have no organization to look after them(Port Kells and Cloverdale). A representative for the City of Surrey told us we will be contacted within ten days regarding some much needed servicing/maintenance/improvements to the Port Kells Jumps. We also met with new SORCE president Dale Thiessen who was out to show support for the Invergarry bike park. We talked about the future of bike parks in Surrey and the future of SORCE, stay tuned for more.....

World Cup rd 1

If you love being awake at 4am, tune in for the first World Cup event of the 2011 season. This round is in Pietermaritzburg South Africa. The track looks like a pedallers' course. It definitely favors a rider who can spin.

Shoreline trail

We went cruisin in Port Moody today. We parked at Rocky point and took the shoreline bike trail around the Burrard inlet to Ioco and back. It's a really nice alternative to the standard sea wall rip.

the woods

We were in the woods recently, here's some footage of Brad and Jordan. Also watch Scott test pilot the first jump on the big line.

Shore ride

My first mountain ride since my shoulder injury almost a year ago. Jordan and I rode a snowy 7th Secret on Fromme. Bobsled was wicked, it should start at the 7th switchback. Thanks to Brad for lending me his Tricked out SX!
