Get ready as the Classic Bear Mtn Challenge is right around the corner ,Canada Day 2012.
The course this year will be left a little more chundry ,as the BMX smoothness is a thing of the past.
Good riders will excel here and newbys have a chance .
The Bear race is what I believe to be the oldest DH race in Canada continually run for 16 years.
On Red mtn just across the road the XC race will run on Sat. morning at 10am ,while the shuttles will run all day.
Sun, morning last chance to get a shuttle ride ,as come 11:30am the DH race starts.
Part of the BC Cup Series both xc/dh, signup for both get $10 off.
check out our website for directions and details.

volunteers are always needed,come help out and get to go to one kickass volly party later at Mission Springs.

Now get out there and register.

No. Cory Adsit left the race organizing scene after the 10th bear mountain challenge in 2006. Bear mountain challenge and hemlock have different organizers, but you will see many of the same volunteers at both.

Cory Adsit now lives in the Enderby region,haven't seen him for years.
At one time Cory and I worked together on Bear and Red,getting the course ready and doing the race.
We both ate more bannana power bars then we like to remember.
Many years ago Cory and I raced together and rode ,rode,rode to get better.
Cory's been out of the local scene for many years now ,but I still remember all the good times together,going to the island racing and trailbuilding.
Time moves on .
Mr.G
Steve R and I have kept Bear going since.

Yah Mike,
You never know.
I raced everything from about the late 80s to 2000 .
Exact dates ,like every thing ,they are hazy....
when I raced though I used to run crazy socks(rugger socks)
Long hair , no suspension,till I got my hei hei,and even then only front.
Mediocre cycle club was our own.
Used to be proud to ride in front,now I am just happy to be riding.
Ride with my son and buddy when I am not building incessantly,or organizing races.
Like indoor,or BMX, or mtn bike.
