China Ridge Trails in Princeton BC will be hosting a memorial ride to celebrate Duncan's life and work as a trail builder. Duncan came to Princeton in 2009 to build our new down hill bike trail called the "Rail Trail". He then came back in 2010 to design and build our bike park and pump track.
There will be three different rides for all levels of riders. We will be unveiling two plaques and will be spreading some of his ashes. After the ride there will be a pot luck BBQ to follow at the bike park. China Ridge welcomes all of Duncan's friends and family to come and celebrate his life with us.
The ride will take place on June 16th , 2012 at 10am at the Princeton bike park . If you have any questions or need more information please contact Lisa at 250-295-6225/ lisa.marie.thompson@hotmail.com or Trenna at 250-295-6434/trennamacleod@hotmail.com or check our our website at

With the project 2/3 complete, a good push this weekend might connect what is going to be a signature trail in the valley.
Come lend a hand to remember and get the job done.
0900 Saturday or Sunday it will start. Park in Function at Interpretive forest parking lot and walk up mircowave climb to find your way. Look for trail to left and uphill just before concrete water reservoir.
Work required is all ground work, you will need gloves, long sleeve recommended and any ground digging tools.
Plenty of tools are on site but if you have your own mark them with your name and bring them in for the day.
See you next weekend!"
