EB eNews for September

September 3, 2007

We hope you've had a great summer of fun and lots of good times on the bike. Just because August is over doesn't mean the fun has to stop. A busy September brings lots of great programs and rides coming up for Youth and Adults alike. September is typically one of the best months for riding in BC.

We've been busy wrapping up the very successful Youth Summer Freeride Camps and other summer programs and gearing up for another busy September. Here is a look ahead to some of the happenings this month at Endless Biking.

Progression Sessions start this week!

Last chance for 2007!

Endless Biking's most popular program is getting ready to kick off another round of sessions this week. These programs build an incredible riding foundation of skill and confidence over a 4 week program in a variety of levels.

Remember, these sessions don't run all year, so sign up while you still can. Space is limited and the next sessions aren't until March/April of 2008!

Wins Dirt Jumping contest!

Congratulations to EB's Eric Lawrenuk, who competed in Mt. Washington's first annual Sleeman's Jump Jam and came out on top in the Expert class! Eric has been working hard to hone his jumping skills and he is definitely a rider to watch out for in the future.

Eric's smooth style, deep bag of tricks and technical ability set him aside from the other jumpers. Riders were forced to battle some wind, wet weather and even some wet jumps to put on a show. Eric and the rest of the jumpers did a great job putting some 'wow' into the crowd at Mt. Washington.

EB's First Friday rides are a great way to meet/ride with other EB members, EB coaches and volunteers alike. We split up groups accordingly and meet for apres ride at a great local establishment, Bella Candella.
