Hi everyone, I'm new to this board as well as the BC area and have left my solid group of riding and racing buddies back in the states. I would like to start riding and training with locals here in the area who are semi serious about racing. Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on making DH racing my career, but my goals for the year are to bump up to Pro class after a few solid places in expert so I'm no slouch. I live in Coquitlam so I have been mainly riding Eagle and have made a couple trips to the Woodlot and Burke, but I'm interested in finding some more DH race type trails in the area and I don't mind driving a bit.
I have been compiling my race schedule for this year and was curious who else is interested in racing any of these. Carpooling is always a great way to save gas money and meet people who like to race as well as ride.
I guess I'm just curious to see who is serious about racing here and wants to train and who is interested in carpooling to these events.
