North Shore Ripper – June 8, 9, 10

In conjunction with the MEC North Vancouver Bike Fest this June 8-10th, Obsession: Bikes cordially invites you to the 11th annual North Shore Ripper! This year?

THE REVENGE OF THE RIPPER!

As in years past, the Trilogy will take place the weekend of the event with three unique courses on Mount Seymour.

Friday (7pm): Adidas Eyewear Chainless DH

A chainless time trial down the Richard Juryn trail.

 

Saturday (10am): Specialized Euro Enduro

3 timed descents with individually outlined times to reach each trailhead. The ‘race’ is the combined time of the three descents.

Sunday (10am): Trek Slash Super D

A classic to the Ripper, this will follow time trial format starting at the TNT trailhead and finishing in the Blair Range.

  The NSMBA has been working hard this past week buffing up sections of the Ripper Super D course… and if you haven’t seen TNT since last year’s work you’re in for a treat!

• Race each event individually, or all three events on the same bike to battle for Lezyne Ripper King or Ripper Queen!
• Sign up to volunteer for sweet swag and an incredible experience! ([email protected])
• Register NOW to ride with your friends on a better Enduro course and $10 off admission! NorthShoreRipper.com
