Pre-Reaper Trail Day – Saturday, August 21st.

Pre-Reaper Trail Day – Saturday, August 21st.

There's another Pre-Reaper Trail Day on Saturday, August 21st.

With enough help, we can connect the trail right through to the bridge. The stretch goal is fill in the crush and give riders a smooth, flowy trail through what used to be a mud-fest every time it rained. With the work completed by our volunteers in June, plus some extra building by Matt and Alan plus Mike and Roger hauling crush in their spare time, this goal is within reach.

As an added incentive, Whole Foods will be supplying lunch and snacks this time. They've been warned about hungry volunteers, so bring you appetites.


The coffee will be ready at 9AM in Parking Lot #5 on Cypress. The focus will be less on logs and more on crush. The NSMBA will supply tools and gloves. Steel toes are up to you, but they're recommended.

Thanks again for all your help getting us this far. Hope to see you there. Please contact us to confirm if you can make it.

100 Years of BC Parks

2011 marks the 100th birthday of BC Parks. To celebrate this centennial landmark, the North Shore Mountain Bike Association in association with Mountain Equipment Co-op and BC Parks invite you to celebrate mountain bike culture in BC.     

Join us on August 27th for a fun-packed, family oriented day celebrating mountain biking in BC at the Old Buck Car Park located at the base of Mount Seymour Provincial Park.  Enjoy free food and entertainment. Bring your bike and join one of the planned group rides (teens and adults) or the children's run-bike race.

There will be free prizes, and a chance to watch the fantastic Flow Riders as they perform their acrobatic bike show.  What a perfect way to spend a day with the family, riding bikes and enjoying one of our beautiful provincial parks!  See you all there.

Toonie #2 results

Toonie #2 results

 
To ease some curiosity.. the fastest time was about 21 minutes and the last rider came in at about 40 minutes. 🙂

I'd like some feedback on whether as a group you want specific names posted with times attached, or just the ranges.

My argument against it is that toonies are supposed to be fun, fairly informal races and I'm a little worried that posting specific results will make it too competitive and some of the slower riders might not want their times made public. Racers were told their times on race day, so they all know and participants can see the results list at the end of the race on race day.  We could post the top 'X' number of times though.

 
Do you think it would be good or harmful to post times?  Feedback please!  toonie@nsmba.ca

  • Redbull Hardline October 17, 2026

    Red Bull Hardline heads to beautiful British Columbia for its first-ever event in Canada, as riders prepare to take on this iteration of the world's most extreme downhill race at Cypress Mountain.

    The unforgettable course at Cypress Mountain will be incomparable to other downhill bike courses, with elements borrowed from dirt jumping and BMX that are not allowed in the World Cup and other UCI races. These include massive jumps and gaps, steep drops of 10m plus, 'rock gardens', and steep descents.

    You can catch all the action LIVE on Red Bull TV on Saturday, October 17. Want to witness the action in person? Tickets for Red Bull Hardline British Columbia will be going on sale soon! Check back soon for more information.
