Check out this article from last year if you'd like to get a better idea of what a Ripper is.

Ripper Vid.

There are a couple of fast Riders doing the downhill portion who are looking for some uppers. Team NSMB's Eamonn Duignan is looking for some legs as is the man, the myth, the legend; 'Old Man' Peter Morin. Give James at Dizzy (604.985.2213) a call if you would like to be an upper for either of these lads.

Ripper 1

Race starts at 9:00. If you are going to be the downer be at Argyle School at 7:30 am to be shuttled up. Or pedal up and be at the top by 9:00am if you would rather climb. Uppers and solos need to be at the water tower by 8:20.

This will be as it was last year. This will be a team event with one Ripper pedaling up to Seventh Secret and the second Ripper riding down Seventh, Leopard,Kirkford,Crinkem Crankem,Griffen to a roaring crowd and much bragging rights.

This will be followed up by party at Raglan's Tiki Bistro in North Vancouver (15 Lonsdale Ave 604.988.8203)

Meet at 6:00 - awards at 7:30. If you get there early there will be some free nachos and various specials.
