the Bike Zone JunkYard Cross CX - PERFECT DAY!

Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive

Congratulations to all the racers who entered the Bike Zone JunkYard Cross CX race last Sunday!  With a great turnout of 219 racers, a steady stream of spectators and a super busy Race Village, it was another super day for the SORCE crew who put out another great event. Yes, we are pretty stoked how things turned out!

Special THANK YOU to our title sponsor the Bike Zone!  Central City Brewers and Distillers sponsored the Red Racer Beer Garden and Fresh Slice delivered a steady stream of hot pizza throughout the day. Scott Robarts again took 100's of pro photos for racers to download for their personal use.  Every racer received a beer or soft drink, a slice of pizza and a pro photo with their entry - outstanding value!

We received so much support and a ton of swag from; BC Bike Race, Cannondale, Orange Sports, Norco Bikes, Easton Cycling, Scott Bikes, Tairin Wheels, Outdoor Gear Canada, Physiomoves Physiotherapy and dry land specialists Bond Training.  Double R Rentals provided the tables, chairs, fencing, towers and a heck of a lot of other stuff to make for a great Race Village.

Our MC's duo extraordinaire, Eric and Dale gave us great commentary and music for a great Village vibe!  The Cycling BC Commissaires provided oversight of course preparedness, race starts, bike scrutineering, timing verifications and a whole lot more!

Special THANK YOU to the setup crew on Saturday, taking care of so many tasks during the race, and for all the extra help from racers and spectators to take everything down. We actually locked the gate at 5:30, so big kudo's for all the help!

See you next year!

Cap's South Shore Shed Fiver CX - results

Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive

The Cap's South Shore Shed Fiver CX race was a resounding success! Of the 81 who registered, a SORCE Fiver record, 64 took to the course around the Delta Watershed Park.

We had 3 races starting with Beginner at 20 min, Intermediate racers for 30 minutes and the Experts 40 minutes. The course comprised of the typical ribbon on stakes course winding through The Meadow with log barriers, riders entering the fast flowy forest section and through the creek.

Podiums with medals 3 deep for men and women were presented, followed with some amazing swag donated by Cap's South Shore Cycle. Many small bike related prizes were drawn out first then the top prizes of 2 new bike trainers and a bike stand. You heard that right - about $1,000 in swag!

Dustin from Cap's was on site with his own bike stand and tools to provide racer support for minor repairs and adjustments.

Webscorer gave us trouble during the Intermediate and Expert race and we had to count laps using clip boards, paper and pen. Unfortunately we only tabulated the top 3 finishers for each of 6 categories for the podium. The data from the Beginner race vaporized. Our apology.  

Huge THANK YOU to all the racers and of course our sponsor extraordinaire, Cap's South Shore Cycle!

See you all at the JunkYard Cross CX race on October 22 at South Surrey Bike Park

 

Expert winner Brett Wakefield take the win and wears the honorary pink hat with new family member getting the medal, with Andrew Pinfold 2nd and Nicholas Lutz 3rd.
