With September and the first Cyclocross race just around the corner we here at Local Ride wanted to start getting you all pumped for the Autumn race season. With that in mind we recommend watching the video below of Pumpkin Cross 2009 and then getting your costumes ready for this years race happening October 24th.

Giant Bicycles is just releasing their 2011 bike line. Some of the exciting new additions include a selection of new 29 inch wheel mountain bikes, a CroMo steel framed Via road bike, and a full carbon TCX Advanced SL cyclocross bike. With the new models coming soon to Local Ride, we are putting all our 2010 Bikes on sale! Come check out a great selection of road, mountain, cyclocross and lifestyle bikes at reduced prices!
Michelin Orium – $25.95
Designed for comfort, it excels in difficult conditions. Its semi-slick tread grips in practically any weather. We have it in stock at Local Ride in black/grey.
Michelin Country Dry2 – $21.95
With a tread pattern inspired from successful MICHELIN cross-country racing tires, the MICHELIN Country Dry2 tire is ideal for just about any dry trail – loose or packed.
Michelin City – $27.95
The thick Protek Plus layer under the City tire’s tread can help make punctures a thing of the past. The tread pattern makes this tire particularly well-suited to asphalt and cobblestones.
Local Ride Racing was at it again this past weekend competing at the BC Cup Mountain Bike Finals and the Seymour Hill Climb Challenge.
Held on the supper flowy trails of Lost Lake, Whistler was the perfect venue to host the final installment of the BC Cup race series. The 8 Local Ride Racers were not only going for the race win, but also the Corridor Cup title, as well as the BC Cup overall titles. It was a good day for the team, here’s how it worked out in the end.
Finally another big thank you to Marie Devantier for the pro feed zone support and Jeanine Ball for putting us racers up for the weekend.
Back on skinny tires, Rich Machhein and Mike Berkenpas tested their legs up the grueling 13km Seymour Hill Climb. Team H&R set a blistering tempo off the start trying to set up Sebastian Salas for a record breaking ride. Mike rode himself “cross eyed” trying to stay with the group and did well to finish. The big surprise came from Rich, who in his first race with his new cat 2 license placed an impressive 10th overall.
Congratulations to all the Local Ride Racers for there efforts, and thank you again to our Sponsors:
