2014 Toonies – Pre Registration
|
Yes it's time for the 2014 Toonies, time to get out and have some fun on the trails. We're back with the Enduro format that everyone loved last year. Never done an Enduro? You keep hearing all about it, time you came out and gave it a try. Our Toonie Enduro's have three timed stages and the transfers are un-timed. The transfers are generally the climbing, the good part about this is you get to chat with your friends or make new friends on the transfers. We don't pick the hardest trails and if there is an alternavtive line around a challenging feature the course generally goes around the feature. Riders of a broad range of ability all have fun. |
Start time is 5:45pm to 6:45pm. This gives people time to spread out on the course, or not worry about being stuck in traffic on the bridge and missing the start. Each week we will update the start location here on the website and we'll create a facebook event page.
Courses will be released on Tuesdays for the Thursday night events. We ask that people not obsess about pre-riding and studying the courses. Our goal is a fun laid back series where times and places are secondary to just getting out and riding.
Each night post race we'll have an apres thanks to our amazing sponsors.
All of this for just a Toonie. Well actually it's more than a Toonie because you need to be a member of the NSMBA to participate.
So sign up HERE to become a member and come out to support the NSMBA.
This year we have also added a pre-registration option for the whole Sereies. Sign up once now and all 8 events fro $16 and you won't need to remember to bring a Toonie each week.
Cypress Upper Lands Working Group
The District of West Vancouver is asking people what they value about the Upper Lands, that large, undeveloped block of land above the highway. All 6,265 acres, all the way out to Horseshoe Bay.
The Upper Lands Working Group is reviewing policies and programs outlined in the 2001 Upper Lands Study and the District’s Official Community Plan. The review will help to determine what lands should be protected, what lands can be developed, uses of public land, and appropriate forms of development.
Last year the Working Group heard from stakeholders and stewardship groups, including the NSMBA and a representative of the Cypress trail builders. Now they want to hear from the general public. This means you!
There are three Open Houses scheduled for public input. At the Community Centre each evening will have two interactive workshops, so come out, grab a clicker and have your vote counted!

March 9th, 2014 – Circuit 8 Trail Day
Join us for our first public trail day of 2014. We're continuing the great work completed in 2012 and 2013 by BC Bike Race and ADERA, with the goal of "bringing the single-track back" to Circuit-8.
Meet us a 9am at the LSCR Upper Parking Lot at the end of Lilooet Road where shuttles will be provided as well as lunch by our super-generous sponsors.
All we need is your muscle and good banter. It will be a fantastic day on a fantastic trail, so come and be a part of the solution.
We'll supply the tools, but we recommended you dress for the weather and working outdoors. Long pants, long Sleeves, sturdy boots or shoes, work gloves (gardening gloves w/ a good grip work well) will keep your comfortable. Bring water and a snack too!
