Press Release
BC School Open Mountain Bike Championships an "Open"
Event
The BC School Open Mountain Bike Championships is now being run as an open
event! This means that any school age mountain biker in the province, from grades
6, right through 12 is now able to enter the BC Championships on his/her own.
In the past this event has been restricted to school teams registered with BC
School Sports and young athletes had to compete attended by a member of the
school staff. This no longer the case and both the participants and the organizers
are extremely excited about this progressive change! Shore Events.com head Richard
Juryn comments "After the success of last year's races we were looking
for a way to offer this excellent event and venue to some of the younger riders
who have very little in the way of organized competitions and places to get
together and have fun and compete with their peers. We think that this change
will be an exciting addition to the race calendar for many of the young riders
of BC."
The BC School Open Mountain Biking Championships is conveniently scheduled for
the weekend after the Victoria Day long weekend, May 25th, and we took special
care to make sure that there were no conflicting events on the BC Cup Calendar
this year.
Sponsors are back in a BIG way this year with over $12,000 in prizing, making
this one of the best events for schwag for mountain bikers of any age! Some
of the prizing highlights include a brand new Brodie Dual Suspension mountain
bike and an autographed jersey from BC's very own 2001 World Mountain Bike Champion
Roland Green.The event will be run in the same venue as last year, Camp Brick
in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR) (formerly the Seymour Demonstration
Forest.)
All of the event information and registration forms are available at www.shoreevents.com.
New this year, is the ability to enter on-line using a secure transaction server
and there are great discounts for early registration!
