the later the race at Mt. Washington, the better the chance of it being dry. I don't want to get mud in my Panties this year.

my one revision that i would want them to make would be flipping XC nationals with downhill nationals, it would save much more time for the people competing in both. if they did i would only have to spend 10 days at MSA instead of the 14 days(4 days of dh practice).

The BC Cup series is back!

It doesn't show this on the schedule, but for the Bear Mountain Challenge, the DH Race on Sunday July 20 will be a BC Cup race (the XC race on Saturday the 19th will not due to the XC nationals being the same weekend).

Really shows where they figure the money is - Quebec -

[rant]Good ol government giving all the god dammed money to quebec for arts culture and sport… sponsorship scandal my ass - it's all the same crap[/rant]

Sad to see a Canada Cup with only 3 western events compared to 5 in Ont / Que along with 2 World Cups and National Championships all in Quebec

And who are you blaming??? The CCA is looking for someone to organize events out west, but hardly anyone will. If you want to see more CC's, then organize it. The people in Quebec are passionate about racing and they have a stellar crew to make a solid event, don't blame Quebec for BC's shortcomings. /rant.

It's still a well known fact that Quebec gets more federal money for sports, arts and culture, and this has a trickle down effect to the financial capability of putting on events of that size.

Sucks! because I'll be in school till August, Sun Peaks and Mt.Washington where my only chances at UCI points. I heard CCA are begging for Canada Cups, it must have something to do with Mt. Washington.
