The first BC Cup cyclocross race of the was held in Langley was co-organized by us! (yes a long time ago, Sept. 5th) And we barely even had to do anything, thanks to long-time organizer Basse joining the club last year.
Saturday and early Sunday morning started off with careful and deliberate course construction resulting in a course meeting high Mighty standards.

The event was put on together with Team H&R Block, and had an excellent turnout with Stacey coming in second in the elite women's field even though she crashed on the last lap. Which is interesting because I remember her crossing the finish line right behind the first place rider. Haley wasn't far behind finishing up 6th.
Tall Matt (aka matkinstal) also got on the podium with a third place finish in the Cat 4 men's race, also followed closely by Beard Matt (aka Meat) who finished complaining about numerous crashes and mechanicals.

Local hero Nick Berry also had an interesting race after just going too hard around a corner "vapourized" into a ditch on the side of the trail.

| What's interesting about this bit of grass? It actually conceals a ditch. |
