Go Green


Go Green

Cheakamus Challenge 2008 turned out to be a wet and muddy affair. The green team did well with 3 racers in the top 50. Jason Shorter was 5th overall, Tim Graversen was 29th, and John Ramsden was 49th. Over the short course Calindy Ramsden turned in a blistering time to take 6th. After what seemd like an eternity of riding dry trails, the wet conditions and slippery roots snuck up on a large number of riders. The cool temperatures had many riders battling mild hypothermia. Hats off to the race organizers for booking Dusty's at Creekside so we could all warm up as we waited for awards. The mountain bike season is winding down, time to get out the cross bikes!
