- This was more than a race for me, this event is like THE Race for off road racing in B.C. The atmosphere and the events are really lit, families, people of all ages coming together to celebrate this sport. I went there for the race weekend but came away with one of the best riding and people experiences.
There were approximately 350 racers across all classes, I met people from all over BC and Alberta.
Now, race day....beautiful all weekend! We hoped for some rain, and by the middle of the first lap it came; and turned the track into a sweet mess by the second lap. The format for B loop was a 30 km lap x 2 (cut off 2 hrs for first lap) I got out to a good start and kept it on two wheels this race, spent first 10 minutes trying to catch Darcy, who was in first and went on to win (Congrats Darcy!), until I got passed on the connectors while I sipped away at fluids and day dreamed.
Good battles for 5, 6 and 7 place on last lap. Camera dies shortly after second lap, I had to ditch my goggles on second lap too due to conditions. I edited out rain drops best I could along with congo line sections. I finished in 6th place
Amazing Volunteer work and so well organized, thanks to that Team you ARE the Rock stars!
Thanks for watching!

Great video! Thank you for posting. And thanks so much to the organizers for hosting such a great event. Truly a life memory. Fun!
well done - great race and great attitude through out
Thanks Dude, are you doing any races this year?
@@SingleTrackTherapy idk its gonna be tough since I lost so much fitness over the winter but maybe a late summer race if I can keep steady on riding
@@thesmoness I hear you there, I am behind also...might only do the Merritt and Chipmunk races this year.
Too bad about the rain impacting visibility. Looks like a fast flowy course. Great pace through the whole race!
Wish you guys were there racing with me and hanging out!
@@SingleTrackTherapy Next year I will join you for sure.
great video!!! lol my squeaky brakes, i have the rebuild kit but i wasn't brave enough to do it before the last race in case i ended up with no working brake 🤣
Ha, Ya I thought it was my brakes and I knew my fronts were close to needing a change, so was like doh! Good race man!
Good start. Second in to the woods. What drone you got? DJI mavic?
Mini 2, I heard your sweet lil ripper, its a nice one. DJI FPV?
@@SingleTrackTherapy ya mine is a fpv race drone. It’s a iflight nazgal but with a different frame.
@@justdoit292 Ya man you got skills flying that thing koodos!
Nice riding thanks for posting, what position did you end up in at the end?
Hey Gerry, ended up in 6th position in my class Sen Am, think there was 21 other guys
You had a great pace, I like watching your videos.
@@gerrygodden8051 Thanks appreciate that, did you race?
No I didn’t race, haven’t raced for quite a while, at 73 now it get pretty hard. My grandson Avery was there, 5th expert, 8th overall and Mac from Checkpoint was there in your class.
@@gerrygodden8051 That's awesome, it still flows in your blood! Lots of good advice for the younger ones, good run for Avery! I am just getting back into racing after a 15 year break, back on the bike 6 years now. Thanks for tuning in Gerry!
