I have a report here from Tobin Copley, EV's roving reporter:

This Saturday (November 24th), we're going to do things a little differently, because we're doing it for charity: it's time for Escape Velocity's annual Toy Ride. So we meet at the Jericho Hostel, 1600 Discovery Street.

This ride benefits the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, an organization that provides food vouchers and toys for low income families in the Vancouver area.

Yep, we finally got them up. Thanks to organizer Jak New (with considerable assistance from the indefatigable Stephen Cork) for assembling a deliciously sadistic course for the final event of the BC CX Cup.

For 11 years of age and under racers there are two options for racing:

1. There will be a one complete lap of the course race for those under 16 that will start at 9:30am as described on the website. This race is free. Please note that the course is approximately 3km long.

Kevin from La Bicicletta Pro Shop has sent us a little note about some off-season fun: spinning! Well, I've heard it's fun. Enjoy!
