ROSSLAND RUBBERHEAD BIKE FESTIVAL

Labour Day long weekend September 4th and 5th, 2010 www.rosslandrubberhead.com

The event will include the same great events as last year but in a new location: Dreadhead All- Mountain Challenge, Huck en Berries Bike Jam, and the Seven Summits Poker Ride. This year will also see the addition of the Little Grom Bike event to include biker kids. It will be located at Centennial Park which is a great central location which has been moved from Red due to the construction on the lodge. Deanne Steven from Tourism Rossland said that "this is a great event for both Rosslanders and visitors – the new location will be great for spectators and competitors!"

Rory Belter from the Huck en Berries Bike Jam is excited to be setting up the course early in the year which will allow people to practice on an even more exciting course. It is suggested that people register early at Revolution Cycles in Rossland as some of the events will be full well in advance of Labour Day.

Tourism Rossland is Rossland's Destination Marketing Organisation whose mission is to work in a fair and unbiased manner to grow Rossland's year round tourism economy within the context of the community's vision and values.

2008 Ride Review with Photos

Smallwood XC trail network

Huge thank you to Pat Wray, John Krebs and our trail builders for all the amazing work done up at Smallwood.  The new descent from the lookout is officially open.  Watch for the sign "Bigwood" on your way down.  This is a beautiful XC descent with fun, flow'y corners.  Please keep in mind this is a brand new trail and riding when it is too wet or too dry will damage any trail.

 

There currently is a completed 4km single track XC trail in the sub-alpine that will be extended and link to existing trails to become a 30km loop of XC riding like no where else in nelson.   

We are having a trail maintenance day up there on Sunday, July 25^th.  Please let Paula (paulaowen@shaw.ca) know if you're interested in helping out.

Fat Tire Festival - August 20, 21 and 22

Fat Tire Festival 2010 - August 20, 21 and 22... Save the date!

Look out all you fat tires out there, it's time for you to bring your stoke again to this year's Annual Fat Tire Festival.  It is going to knock your nubs off, all in honour of the late, great, Cam Alexander.

For those of you who don't know, Cam Alexander was an old hand with the bike tools, fantastic rider of old, and an all around inspiring mountain biker. 

Cycling had been so good to him that in 1996 Cam decided to stage a festival to bring our community together and celebrate mountain biking in all of its forms.  He wanted to offer a variety of events for all ages and abilities.

Tragically, during a spring ride at Earl Grey Pass, an issue with pedals, a river raging with spring thaw water and debris, brought Cam's life to an abrupt end.

It didn't take long for the cycling community to rally together to bring Cam's fat tire dreams to fruition.  Two months later, the roster of events included the Cam Slam, the Sane and Insane cross-country events, and all in memory of a person loved so dearly.

This year's committee is stoked to bring you more downhill events, a new and totally cool Morning Mountain cross country loop, the fantastically fast crit and many more events for you to choose from.

Fat Tire Festival 2010, August 20, 21, and 22.  Kids bring your parents, parents bring your kids, everyone bring your grandma and pa, this is an event you can all enjoy.  Come on, it's time to get up and ride!

Stay tuned for more info to come on the website!
