The Seymour Skinner is Back May 28th

After a successful inaugural year, MEC’s The Seymour Skinner is back for year 2. May 28th, 2016.

The challenging trails of the North Shore Mountains are unparalleled. And this race gets to showcase some old and new trails on Mount Seymour. Partnering again with Cycling BC, this is race 4 of the BC Cup XC series.

We learned a lot from the first year of the race and have made some changes based on feedback from our racers. This year we have shortened the laps a little by eliminating the pedal up the Powerlines trail and have taken the second section of Sticks and Stones out. But otherwise, the course is unchanged.

We have also added a new sponsor to the list, Bridge Brewing, who will be providing a free beer to all the racers (19+). We also have free food from the vendors at North Shore Bikefest.



Course:


The race is a 1, 2 or 3 lap course (depending on category). Starting at the Old Buck Parking lot, go up Old Buck and Powerlines, drop into the new upper part of Severed D, then right onto C-Buster, next to the new trail Asian Adonis, back to C-Buster, to Slippery Salamander, then Sticks and Stones, and onto Bridle Path. The last lap take Empress Bypass to the finish line at Old Buck Parking lot.
