MTBco

Annual General Meeting

The A.G.M. is set for:

Tuesday, February 23rd
7:30PM to 9:30PM
Kinsmen Field House

That’s the usual place we have the annual meeting, and if you don’t know where it is, here’s a handy map for you.

We’re looking for some new blood to fill the ranks of the club executive this year.  Please consider joining us this year.  We are looking for people with accounting skills, grant writing experience, corporate fund raising, maybe an event co-ordinator, and some generally well organized and motivated people to help spread the load.

The International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) Trail Care Crew visited Kelowna from June 18th to 21st as one of their 70 stops throughout North America. IMBA and MTBco helped local riders, experienced and aspiring trail builders, club members, government staff and clubs from the Shuswap to the South Okanagan learn more about sustainable trail maintenance and construction.

The visit started on Thursday, June 18th with a government employee specific trail school were staff from the City of Kelowna, District of West Kelowna, Regional District of The Central Okanagan, BC Parks and the Ministry of Tourism Culture and The Arts learned about sustainable trail building techniques. 17 government staff members participated in the session showing their commitment to the Regional Mountain Bike Stategy.

On Friday, June 19th directors from MTBco, Friends of The South Slopes, The Central Okanagan Hiking Club, The North Okanagan Cycling Society, The Shuswap Trail Alliance and The Pentictona and Area Cycling Association and the South Okanagan Bike Club all participated in a club building workshop. The groups learned techniques to keep their clubs strong, motivated and effective. The session also laid the ground work for future regional club meetings. The clubs will pursue ways to further work together on issues such as sign standards and design, regional trail opportunities and joint promotion.

The main event was of course the Trail School held on Saturday, June 20th. The 32 participants spent half a day in class on the shores of Okanagan Lake at the Mission Activity Center. This in class session provided the back ground needed to participate in the afternoon field session held on Knox Mountain. The in class session taught participants how to ensure their future trails will not only be sustainable, but also fun. We all now know you can have both! After the in class session participants were treated to an amazing lunch at the Bike Shop Cafe located on Ellis St. right across from the library. What a meal! Darren and Kim went all out ensuring our crew was ready for an afternoon of trail work. Once up at Knox the crew went through an initial safety meeting to discuss tool use and work site safety then it was up to the top of the mountain just above the ranger station to do a trail decommission and re route. The group was divided into two teams, one team, lead by Jason Van Horn of IMBA, was to begin the decommission of the old unsustainable (aka erroded) trail section and begin the re route while the other team learned about trail design from Inga Beck of IMBA. The crews applied their new found knowledge to create an awesome new trail section with tons of flow. Everyone worked really hard and had a ton of fun in the process. We all learned that having access to a water tank trailer and hoses to soak down the trail makes life wayyyyy easier….hmmm, I think MTBco could use a water tank!

After a hard day of trail work what could be better than showing up at the bike shop to a smoking bbq, two kegs and music. Cyclepath and Tree Brewing had it all lined up…burgers and veggie burgers for all, salads and Tree Brewing Thristy Beaver! Awesome. The gang took a much deserved seat, socialized, ate drank and raced…yeah raced. You see we decided that giving out prizes with your basic raffel ticket draw was good at first but when it came to the final two best prizes you just had to earn it. A Camel Bak pack donated by Cyclepath and Outdoor Gear Canada and a shuttle for 10 to Vapour trail in Myra Bellevue Park by Monashee Adventure Tours were up for grabs and the slowest rider wins. The good ol slow as you can go race on kids bikes. Perfect for really tired, slightly intoxicated mountain bikers.

Sunday. Finally the day to ride. Everyone started to arrive at the base of Knox Mountain about 10am as a light rain fell. A rider from Revelstoke reminded us that it was not raining out, but was rather only sprinkling. I guess some of us are Okanagan soft now. There were downhillers, all mountain riders and cross country riders. The groups were formed and destinations were chosen. The downhill contingent would be off to Gillard while the others headed to Smith Creek. Lesson one, don’t hold up a bunch of DHers that are stoked to ride. It can get ugly, just let them go. Lesson two…cross country riders must be let off the leash. Don’t even try to keep on them with your 6 inch bike…there’s no shame being outclimbed by these animals. Lesson three, don’t be mean and tell out of towners (aka, the IMBA rep) that its ok to bring your DH bike to go climb Smith Creek. Thats just mean. Dave, you are mean! We all took our time and sure enough we got to the top and had a blast ripping down the Smith Creek DH line. What a trail…we are so lucky here in the Okanagan to have such awesome trail builders. Thank your local builders, better yet, give them money for tools, nails and fuel and buy them beer when you see them at the pub.

After the ride we all headed back to see if we could put a bit of dent in the remainder of the keg of Tree Thirsty Beaver then it was time to say goodbye to our IMBA crew, Jason and Inga. The event had been a huge success with everyone learning a lot and having a ton of fun. Events such as this are only possible by the hard work and dedication of volunteers and the support of our sponsors. I want to thank the crew that helped to make this event possible and our sponsors that stepped up to make sure the event was top knotch.

A big thanks goes out to:

• Lori Evans for taking care of the entire invite, registration and communications end of the event. This is the stuff that takes a great deal of time, a lot of skill and far more organizational know how than I will ever have…

• Lee McKay and Studio A Graphic Design. Lee not only sponsored the event by providing the awesome promo poster and maps but he took on site logistics at the various venues (with help from Steph of course…!)

• Stu Evans, Darren Pugh and Scott Lars for volunteering your time to take on site prep work, logistics at each venue, sign in and of course the set up of the water tank. It started as a  crazy idea that just happened to work like a champ.

• Dave Petrik and Kinga Gortel. Dave and Kinga welcomed Jason and Inga from IMBA into their home providing them with an amazing place to sleep, rest, work and enjoy the veiw overlooking Kelowna from the door step of Knox Mountain.

• Don Moore, the beer man. Don didn’t even let me finish my sentence when I was asking him about how to get free beer for the event. ‘No worries, I got it covered….’ thanks Don! Tell the gang at Tree how much we enjoyed the Thirsty Beaver.

• Jim Maybee and the Shuswap Trail Alliance for providing us with insight on choosing a field work site and for bringing a ton of tools. We couldn’t have done it without your support. Thanks Jim, and thanks to whole Shuswap Trail Alliance team.

• Friends of The South Slopes (FOSS) for providing us with tools and for always supporting MTBco and our events.

• A big thanks to the City of Kelowna Parks Department, Recreation Department and Outdoor Events Committee for providing us with the venues for this event, for trusting us to work on Knox Mountain, assisting us with funding the event and ensuring we would be free to work in the park without running into an angry bride to be whose wedding was ruined by a bunch of mountain bikers (long story). Cheers to Barb Davidson, Jim Gabriel, Claudia Buhler and Ian Wilson for your support.

• Our title sponsors, Cyclepath Bike Shop and The Bike Shop Cafe really stepped up to help turn this event into an experience to be remembered for all. An amazing lunch in an oh so cool resturant (you really have to go see this place) by the Bike Shop Cafe and a dialed BBQ and social at Cyclepath Bike Shop took this from a good event to great one.

• Nato of Okanagan Sign Design produced killer trail maintenance signs for us that the club can now use at all our our trail days. Cheers, Nato.

• Winn Rentals provided us with water hoses to run our water tank. Most of these guys ride too so they were stoked to help us out.

• Thank you also to our prizing sponsors, Monashee Adventure Tours, IMBA, Bush Pilot Biking, Outdoor Gear Canada and Giant Bikes. Mountain bikers love swag and these companies came through.

To everyone who participated, thank you for coming out and making this event rock. And to IMBA and Subaru, thank you for running such a great program and for choosing to make a stop in Kelowna. This event has helped us to keep the momentum gained from the Regional Mountain Bike Strategy alive and has given MTBco an opportunity to host people from all over our region. Good times, new friends, more trails.

Feel Shame if you missed this event…

Kranked Revolve

Movies for people who ride

By Jennifer Smith – Kelowna Capital News

Published: June 09, 2009 10:00 PM

This could be their biggest event yet.

On Thursday, June 25, Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan will open the doors at the Kelowna Community Theatre to what they’re hoping will be a full house as Kranked 8: Revolve makes its Okanagan debut.

Produced by Sunshine Coast resident Bjorn Enga’s Radical Films, the Kranked series have become a litmus test for top riders and mountain bike film aficionados as each successive film tries to outdo the last.

This one promises to be no exception with 15 of the world’s top riders strutting their stuff.

“It’s kind of loosely based on the riders talking about their bikes, illustrating what they ride and how they ride and what they’re all about,” Enga explained in a telephone interview from the Coast.

With fans who demand the best he knows he’s got to stay on his toes, this time throwing a blind rider and a guy whose wearing spandex in the mix.

The spandex speedster is tackling a 27-km descent in a downhill race, using the otherwise no-go mountain Speedo look to cope with the demands of such high volume performance pedalling, Enga says.

The movies are made for people who ride by people who ride and Enga confirmed he did spend a portion of this last weekend on the trails himself, even riding through a year of intense shooting.

He worked into this end of the mountain bike business after running a magazine in Nelson called The Freak Radical. Now more than a decade into the industry he can say he’s never spent a lick of time in film school, but has logged countless hours “on set.”

Shooting a mountain bike movie is a rather unique experience which involves an editing process that runs down to the wire. He’s often editing right up to premier day and trying to meet the fan’s expectations.

Call Enga’s line and his answering service announces he’s “deeeeeep into Revolve” polishing up the last of the epic scenes.

For this movie, it is that very last scene he’s really happy with, shots done in the lush green forests of his home turf, Mount Elphinstone.

Kelowna’s hometown hero Steve Romaniuk, whose known for his cowboy persona, also has some pretty gnarly footage in the film, though his scenes were shot in France.

With the promise of those ridiculously amazing moves hanging in the balance, Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan hope they’ll sell out the community theatre this time around.

Last year some 450 people showed up for the event, but this time around they’re aiming for a full 700 capacity. While MTBco host several movie nights throughout the year, the Kranked openings are always their top draw.

President Johnny Smoke describes the events as a perk for current members, but said they also help attract new members and new riders to the scene.

And there are other groups now trying to follow this successful path.

Last week the local cycling advocacy group, Kelowna and Area Cycling Coalition, tried a similar tack screening several short films, mostly UTube clips, of cycling themes in an effort to attract prospective members to their group as well.

Proceeds from the mountain bikers events will go toward building out local infrastructure, helping with the city’s new mountain bike skills park being built on Hollywood Road and negotiating access rights to Crown land.

Tickets for Kranked 8: Revolve can be purchased through local bike shops.

Racing has been away from the Central Okanagan mountain biking scene for way too long. So for 2009, we decided to fix all that shizazz. Back with a vengeance, supported by Kelowna Cycle and Kona, we bring you the K-Town Kamikaze Super-D. 神風 indeed.

Race Summary:
The K-Town Kamikaze Super-D event is designed to be a fun, participation type event that will bring riders of all ages, skill levels and user groups together in one setting. To emphasise the fun there’ll be prizes for best fancy dress and other random acts of kindness and bro-ness. Please note that multi coloured Troy Lee race suits DO NOT count as fancy dress. The goal of this event is to further community involvement in the active four season lifestyle outdoor that Kelowna is famous for, and promote tourism through our magnificent Central Okanagan trail resources. Come to Kelowna, race, ride, play, and stay. And there’s always the chance you’ll see a sasquatch.

Location:
Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Event supported by BC Parks.

Date:
Sunday June 28th, 2009

Course:
Start at the Kettle Valley Railway drop-in to Vapour trail traverse on the Pink Highway to the Connector trail & finish at the bottom parking lot area.

Race Format:
Individual racers will start at pre-determined start times with one minute intervals between racers. The runs will be timed and the winner in each category will be determined by the fastest time. There will be mens and ladies adult and youth categories with appropriate course routing for skill levels. The course is all natural and stunt-free, with no mandatory drops or gaps, and some optional small rock faces. The upper section is lush and treed, a little rooty, and twisty. Lower down it gets drier, dusty and rocky with some short loose but quite flat shale sections. This is a fun fast section. Around two thirds of the way down, there’s two uphill climbs thrown in the mix to test your mettle, then another faster downhill section to finish with a real fun blast. Ideal for any skill level, you can ride this course as hard, or as mellow, as you feel.

First Aid and Safety:
We will have volunteers with appropriate training and equipment on course at multiple designated marshal stations with course marshals along the route. Communications will be via cell phone (there is coverage on the mountain). First aid will also be sweeping the course at the end of the day. Paramedics will be available on stand by in close proximity to the course.

Insurance and Race Entry Fees:
Covered under MTBco’s insurance policy. All racers will need to sign a waiver and pay entry fees to obtain insurance.
Adult $40 ($25 if already an MTBco member)
Under 16 $25 ($10 if already an MTBco member)
Entry fees include annual MTBco membership.
Cheques payable to Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan
Download your entry forms and waiver from the club website, print off and bring with you complete with cash/cheque payment. Or sign up on the day of the race.

The Details:
All riders must be present for the pre-race safety meeting at 9:00 am. The focus of the event is participation, so the concepts of fun and good times are going to be stressed as the main priority. Post race BBQ at the end of the event during the prize giving (prizes to be confirmed, see MTBco site for specifics).

Vapor Trail Day Report:

On Sunday, October 19th MTBco members and a Friends of The South Slopes (FOSS) director worked and had fun from 9:30am to 2:30pm to re-route the eroded chute mid way down the heavily ridden Vapor Trail in Myra-Bellevue Park (Crawford).

After Cathy Richards of FOSS gave a few quick lesson of single track trail building the group was off and running. The work went quick thanks to our amazing group of volunteers. Under the sunshine of a perfect fall day the group completed the re route and decommissioned the old chute.

MTBco’s cross country and all mountain directors, Mike Kittmer and Stu Evans would like to thank and acknowledge the hard work of the following MTBco members:

Lori Evans                               Lee MacKay                                     Stephanie Greenstein

Laurens Campbell                   Jonathan Matlock                             Darren Pugh

Jason Poitras                          Scott Lahrs

and… our partner in crime from FOSS, Cathy Richards for her leadership and great lessons. MTBco would also like to Thank Kirk Illingworth of BC Parks for granting us permission to perform this work.

To all of you, thanks again for the great day…can’t wait for more trail days in Myra-Bellevue and on all our other local xc/am trails.

To those intending to ride Vapor this fall, Please go easy on the new sections as the soil is still dry up there. It needs a good bit of rain and some time under snow to settle in.
