VANCOUVER, BC June 25, 2015 – Imagine pointing your tires into the unknown, fearlessly releasing the brakes and shredding the brown pow of a well-crafted trail in the deep wilderness of Northern BC. For Chris Stromgren, from Salmon Arm, BC, that is soon going to be a reality. Chris is the lucky winner of this year’s Mountain Biking BC 7 Day Giveaway Contest.

Chris was selected among 10 random finalists who had to convince a panel of judges in 500 word or less why they should be the chosen one for this incredible experience. Chris has been a committed rider and racer for many years and has given back to the sport by establishing a very successful high school youth mountain bike program in Salmon Arm and currently serves as Commissioner for Mountain Biking with BC School Sports. His passion for adventure and mountain bike road trips in particular make him the ideal candidate for this week long odyssey into the wilds of the North.

This year’s trip will feature riding near Prince George, Fort St James, Terrace, Smithers, and Burns Lake. Leading the trip will be Darren Butler and Kelli Sherbinin from Endless Biking. The trip is made possible through support from the following organizations:

• Northern BC Tourism
• Camping & RV BC Coalition
• Tourism Prince George
• Fort St James District
• Visit Terrace
• Tourism Smithers
• Village of Burns Lake
• Endless Biking

The trip will run from July 18-26. Daily highlights will be posted on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/MountainBikingBC and through other media outlets. Coming along to capture new stories and images from the region are Brandon Watts and Chris Grundberg from Freehub Magazine, Matt Cote from Coast Mountain Culture and John Wellburn, freelance adventure photographer.

Mountain Biking BC would like to express its thanks to more than 3,000 people from over 20 countries who entered the contest. When planning your next mountain bike adventure in BC, be sure to check out www.MountainBikingBC.ca.
