2010 racing schedule

Gord Reddy new coordinator
Gord Reddy is our new race coordinator for the Lower Mainland. Gord, himself a keen rider, staged the Thunderbird Masters (70 km) Road Race for the Phoenix Velo Training Group in the spring. "We're really pleased that Gord has agreed to do this," said President Bill Yearwood. "Organizing races in the Lower Mainland, despite its big population base, has been a great challenge for us over the years."
Last year's stars
The full list of last year's award winners appear on Duane Martindale's wonderful 'results and photos' website. And there's more about special awards on David Mercer's blog ... Take a look.
Among the highlights of the well-attended annual awards lunch and annual general meeting at the Cherry Point Winery was the re-election of Bill Yearwood as BCMCA president and the distinguished service award made to Peter McCaffery who got off his sick bed (he was badly injured in a truck-bike encounter in March) to put on masters races and a weekly time trial series near Nanaimo.

Recycle cycling medals
By turning in your race medals you will receive coupons that cover entry fees. Four old medals -- any color will do -- equals a $10 entry, and eight will get you into a race that charges $20. For more medal information, talk to David Mercer.
(Dave also has some ideas on ways to improve our sport. For his blog ... Take a look. )
