Whistler Bike Park Phat Wednesday Race One

We're back baby. With the bike park opening a few weeks ago, Dirt Merchant last weekend, and now the first Phat Wednesday presented by Kokanee race now in the books, summer is finally flat out here in Whistler. Last night, close to 300 downhillers came out to put their off-season training to the test by proving who did the most on the bike and in the bar. Liquid sunshine blessed the evening helping to keep the temps cool and the dirt tacky. The park is running in great shape after a quick heat wave last week that dried things out.

Within the mix, the usual suspects were out showing the newcomers how it's done. With chains off, B-Line is all about carrying momentum and keeping it low. Some do this better than others and it's clear who is the best. So let's see the action...
