Rupert Off-road Cycling Club ROCC
Published by Krow Cunningham
well the mountain bike tourism symposium in Williams Lake BC pretty much gutted the idea of ever getting a successful club and bike trail system around here in prince rupert. The soon to be lack of a bike shop and lack of local motivation and effort to ever get this thing off the ground has brought it to my mind that we as a bike community has never existed here in rupert. It takes more than 1 , 2 or even 10 people to make this thing happen. My own personal dream to have positive local economic impact with mountain bike tourism in this town has been crushed. Ive personally put in over 1000s of dollars and over a 1000 hours in this area in the last few years to see roadblock after roadblock, and watch the trails i help build get eaten by the bureaucracy of the canadian government and the local native government. Its all bout greed folks!! If it doesnt put money in the pockets right now nobody is interested. Ive said this time and time again I personally dont have the ability to administrate this on my own nor the funds anymore to put into trails only to watch it all waste away. Its come to a conclusion that if you want to ride trails on a bike move from Prince Rupert.
