We had a great season of racing last year. A lot of racers took in some inexpensive and fun low key racing. Over the five events we hosted, FVMBA learned what worked and what needed to be improved upon. We have also listened to the feed back from the racers, what they liked and wanted to see more of.
For 2012, Pinkbike.com and Avenue Body Shop are pleased to present the FVMBA All Mountain Spring Series.
This will be a point series again. Racers will collect overall series points in two XC races, two Super D races and one AM race. The XC races will be mass start events. The AM and Super D races will all be 1 min interval starts. Vedder will not have the 1.5km flat road traverse, but a surprise of more DH may be added to this course. Riders with the skills and ability to handle what the Fraser Valley has to offer, will covet the FVMBA series trophies (last year’s trophies).
Day of registration entry fee at all the races will be $10/race. But we will be offering an early bird pre-registration package from Feb 6th to Feb 19th through CCN.
Pre register here reg.ccnbikes.com/index.php/event/fvmba-all-mountain-spring-series
Every racer needs to have a Cycling BC license (UCI/Citizen/Club) and be a member of FVMBA. Both of these can also be purchased at www.ccnbikes.com Cycling BC licenses will not be sold on site.
Due to the venue restrictions and layout of our first race at Heritage Park in Mission, there will be a 125 rider cap. Pre registeration is strongly encouraged. Only the racers that race the first race and every other race will qualify for the Race Every Race category, as well as the One Bike to Rule them All category and the Overall Series Points. But this doesn’t mean that racers will be excluded from the rest of the series. All other venues will have unlimited entry. Again the rider cap is only because we are restricted to field size for the Heritage Park Venue.
Kintec will be offering some great incentives for everyone to keep coming out for the Race Every Race category. The top male and female winners in the Overall Points Series will win some great swag.
We have a sub category for the Race Every Race category. The One Bike to Rule them All category. Compete in every race on the same bike/wheels/fork and be entered in multiple draw prizes from Suspensionwerx, Suspension Therapy and Marx Conditioning.
Our sponsors were fantastic with their ample swag last year. This year is no different. Avenue Body Shop in Abbotsford will be presenting the $50 Crash Crash at each race as well as Podium Cash for the top five in the Male, Female and Junior categories. (min. 10 riders are needed to field a category to be awarded top Podium Cash) There is $800 in cash to be divided up as Podium Cash for the Series. Pinkbike.com and SRAM will have a truck load of prizes along with the support from the Bear Mountain Challenge and all the Valley’s bike shops. Lifecyles, Wentings, Velocity, Cranky’s and Pedal Sport.
All the prizes that these sponsors have donated will be awarded as draw prizes. So you don’t have to be an XC racer boy or a DH king to go home with swag. All you have to do is show your support for FVMBA, ride some killer trails, have FUN and you have a chance to win some cool stuff.
