May 26/09 18:58 pm - North Shore Bike Fest
Posted by Editoress on 05/26/09
From May 22nd to 24th, the Vancouver 'North Shore', known (and revered) world wide as the birthplace of freeride, hosted the inaugural North Shore BikeFest . The weekend long event featured XC, DH, Dirtjump, Fun races for kids & adults, clinics, a gear swap and much more.
The competitive/race events (some of the first in recent memory) saw the return to 'competition' of some well known, now "retired" racers... Andrew Shandro, Christine (Platt) Shandro and Erin Chorney to name a few. Shandro raced in the 30+ Citizen Men's XC event (having missed the cut off for the Elite men's DH cat) and won by one and a half minutes. Platt and Chorney raced the 30+ Citizen Women's XC finishing 1st and 2nd. Former national team member Keith Stark raced the Elite men's XC and finished a respectable 5th.
