What an Awesome day!!! 9 sections 4 laps new record number of sections for us . 11 riders out today we seem to grow by a couple of riders each event... it may not seem like a lot but it was only a few years ago we only had 4 or 5 riders locally now we are over 25 (even if they don't all make it to events) it is great to see the numbers growing. Looking to have 4 events next year + training session and a 3 day indoor demo at the outdoor show.

The first two rounds of the 2011 WTC Canadian Trials Championship, were held in Summerland BC this past weekend with 58 riders on Saturday and 48 on Sunday. - The long ( for Canada) loop and natural sections took points from all classes with Will Duggan winning the Champ Class on Day one ahead of John English and Thomas Cordner - Ex UK rider Steve Foord grabbed 4th after fixing a puncture and getting caught out by a late shower of rain that made the rocky sections very slippery. Sunday was another close battle at the top, with Thomas Cordner winning and Jon English another fine 2nd place, third on the day went to Kelowna rider Brandon Wince. - The next two rounds of the …

The 2009 WEC Canadian Trials Champion, is Stephen Foord who just moved to Canada from the UK. "Foordy" rode his Team Outlaw Sherco 290 to wins in three of the four rounds, held in BC and Ontario. An accomplished " All rounder" - Foordy also competes in Cross Country and Hare Scrambles events on a Mountain MC sponsored Beta RR450.

Rounds three and four of the WEC Canadian National Series go this weekend in Quebec. Wilson Craig from Vancouver won the first two events, but the battle in other classes is pretty tight - it really remains to be seen who makes the cross Canada trip to compete, Will Duggan and Devon Dargis from Vancouver Island are both up for the titles in the Champ and Expert classes, and will be in Quebec to battle it out with the Eastern riders.

The WEC Canadian Trials Championship locations have been finalized for 2011, with Rounds One & Two being held in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in May, and Rounds Three & Four at a Ski Resort near Montreal(Quebec)in July. Further details will be posted in the New Year.
