Victoria Bike Racing is back with a vengeance!   The 2010 Robert W.Cameron Law Cycing Series p/b the Times Colonist (formerly the Times Colonist Cycling Festival), hits the Victoria roads this summer.   The Series currently has two cycling weekends scheduled, May 28-30, 2010 and July 24, 2010.

The event begins with the Pro City Racing Bear Mountain Hill Climb on May 28, with rumours that Ryder Hesjedal will be participating and showing his home crowd what world class fitness looks like. 

May 29 is the first BC Cup event of the year, with the Russ Hay's Sooke Classic Road Race presented by The Condo Group.  This popular road circuit returns and is also the venue for the 2010 BC Elite and Junior Provincial Road Championships.   Former winners of this race include Roland Green, Andrew Pinfold, Sarah Neil, Leih Goldstein, and....yes...Robert Cameron himself.

On Saturday, May 30, is the ever-popular La-z-boy Bastion Square Grand Prix presented by 100.3 the Q.  This popular event has notable past champions such as Svein Tuft, Andrew Pinfold, Andreas Hestler, Roland Green, Alison Sydor, Melanie McQuaid, and Gina Grain.

Also on May 30, kids ages 5-10 get to race and also rub elbows with local olympians and champions during the Tim Horton's Timbits Challenge.  Registration is free and all kids get a T-Shirt, a medal, waterbottle, and a box of Timbits!   The youth action continues with the Intact Insurance High School Race....with 15-18 year olds battling for the podium.

The Sidney Twilight Grand Prix continues the summer racing action on July 24th with a downtown criterium in beautiful Sidney BC.

The Aviawest Cycling Society is a not-for-profit society dedicated to providing financial assistance and coaching support for the development of young competitive cyclists.
