Sometime in the summer (I can’t remember which night exactly) BIOS Action Cam came to the Thursday Night Series to demo their HD helmet cams. I finally got the raw footage, and put together a little edit. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y08IWD2e0fs&feature=youtube_gdata_player Caution: this video will make you want to ride bikes! The sun is setting sooner, the days are getting cooler, and those who participate in public education must return to school soon. These clues would suggest that summer is ending, but a perhaps more definitive clue is that next week is the *finale* of the 2011 edition of the Mountainview Thursdsay Night Race Series is next Thursday, September 1st. Come out to enjoy the last race of the season, and stick around for post race BBQ and end of year awards, as well as to see some photography from throughout the year. The BBQ will cost only a few dollars, bring your friends and family to enjoy some BBQ and to revel in your glory while you receive your awards! Thanks to everyone who came out to make the 7th Mountainview 9 Hour Relay a roaring success! Despite a thunderstorm-induced course-closure, the race was able to continue after 90 minutes (time well spent drying off and pie eating), and the course firmed up beautifully for the rest of the day. Thanks again to our sponsors, Total Sports and Joyride 150, and congratulations to all of the winners. Results are posted, follow the links above. Bonus event results and lap times are posted as well. ***JUST ANNOUNCED – Total Sports has offered up $1000 in CASH PRIZES for fastest laps and the bonus events – come chow a pie, limbo a bike, carry copious bottles or slay the slip n’ slide like a champ and win big cash!*** I don’t know about the rest of you, but the 9 hour is my favourite event of the season. Now, you have the chance to register for it! Follow the links above for online registration, or to print off a paper registration form. This year’s event is on August 20th, hope you can make it! Hey Everyone, Thursday, June 23rd will be beater bike night at the Thursday series. Thumb shifters, v-brakes, and 7-speed drive trains will take to the trails, to see how much it really is about the rider, not about the bike! Bring out your vintage/beater bike to earn 20 bonus points in the standings, and earn some cred amongst your fellow riders! Clipless pedals are allowed. Because I said so. “Vintage” counts as anything before the year 1998 (The year I started bike racing). “Beater” counts as anything myself and an impartial panel consider to be a beater. +1000 points for anyone who races on a Penny Farthing. Hi Everyone, With thanks to Mark at Total Sports, we have a Norco demo day at the Thursday Night Series on June 2nd. Come out and try out the latest Norco xc bike offerings. These aren’t just parking lot demos either, we are welcome to race on them, to really put them through their paces! …TMAS Hi Everyone, The MCC is hosting a Devinci demo day during our Tuesday night group ride at Copeland Forest, at 6pm. Come check out the latest and greatest rides that Devinci has to offer. These rigs are sold at Total Sports, so its a great chance to check out the product line before spending the cash! You must be an MCC member to participate in the ride. Despite what the (seemingly) colder than average temperatures would have you believe, spring is here, and that means its time to race some bicycles! The Mountainview Thursday Night Race Series kicks off its 9th season next Thursday, April 22nd. The Just for Fun category starts at 6:30, with all other categories starting at 7pm. Also, unfortunately, I avoided for it as long as I could, but this year, we’ll have to charge HST. As such, the fees are going up. $10 per rider, 8$ for extra family members, and season’s passes available as well. Even with this price increase, the Mountainview race series is still the best deal around! (trust me, I did the research). Hope to see you next Thursday! |
