Due to a large number of participants registering this week we wanted to encourage everyone to come out Friday evening to pick-up their race package.  Only riders that pre-register will be guaranteed a race package, or "goodie bag" as we like to call them.  So, if you have not yet registered please do so before event day to avoid any disappointment and long waits.

Encourage everyone you know to do the same so our band of merry volunteers maintains their merry-ness (word?).  Of course should you be unable to make it Friday, the two choices below are still available for package pick-up and registration.

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all cancers.    With so few survivors to advocate and raise funds, we have dedicated this year’s Cypress Challenge to the memory of Jack Poole.  Jack, the man responsible for bringing the Olympic Games to Vancouver, died of Pancreatic Cancer in October 2009 just a few months shy of seeing his Olympic dream fulfilled.  He was a man of great spirit, drive and determination and his commitment to the community and to the public good was something he highly valued.

Mark your calendars for the 4th Annual Cypress Challenge on Saturday, August 20, 2011.

Join us to ride up Cypress Mountain to raise money for pancreatic cancer research at the BC Cancer Foundation. Once again the event is open to everyone with a bike, a helmet, and the determination to pedal up the mountain.

The 2010 event was our most successful to date with 199 riders helping raise over $50,000 for the Betty Ergas Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund through the BC Cancer Foundation. And we aim to make the 4th Annual event even better. We will have more details to share about the 2011 event very soon.

To pull off a successful event we need your help. First we hope everyone will help spread the word and encourage participation from cyclists of all abilities. We are also looking for club members who have time to volunteer or that might have potential sponsor contacts.
