Maybe it’s something in the water, the forest air or the roots below, but mountain bikers from Vancouver Island have made it pretty high up the podiums of the world. The highest achievement was from Stevie Smith. World Cup Champ in 2013, the segment of Seasons was played over and over with a young Steve and his mom Tiann running shuttles on Mt. Prevost near Duncan.

Scheduled since the spring, the Island Cup Series stops into the Duncan region for a few events, including last weekend’s Maple Mountain XC, and the upcoming Prevost Enduro on May 29th.

Race organizer Robin Dutton of Coal City and Cowichan Cycles, has happily offered proceeds from both events to go directly to the Stevie Smith Legacy Fund.

Registration is open now for the May 29th Enduro, which we hope to sell out at 140 racers and possibly locate more timing chips to open it up for more riders.

 I went to Stevie's Celebration of Life and it was well worth the effort. I never met him but was there in spirit, on the edge of my seat every time he raced. I am not into big sport, Gretzky is a an idiot and I haven't really had a Canadian sports hero until Stevie. Steve Smith was, and will remain my Greatest Canadian Sports Hero. The Islanders were out in full force at his event and I will miss him and his accomplishments. it was an awesome ride Stevie!
