ThNR Report
Steve, James, Gavin, Curt, DB, Mike, Chris, Franklin and I headed to the park to test the Southern Cross course and practice stumbling over barriers; it was good fun, and funny. We also rode the new town pathway which like all roads in Rocktona, led us to the clubhouse. Tom, Pole Vaulter, David, Duke, and Albert rode their own routes and Steven had to walk his bike due to a broken chain. Minutes include: party like it’s 1986, Dark Cross is upping the ante on the fun factor, Gavin is a whore, Head for the Hills goodness, SWiebo makes bike-park kids cry, Ryder Hesjedal wins a 5 lap race - forgets it’s a 6 lap race, ABES fashion, Steve was steamed about bush league hockey bushiness, Walmart family pictures, and biker bars. Good times. JS

ThNR
Cross season is upon us and if you’re planning to race this season, test your mettle at the open races, or just want to party with a bunch of cool kids (bike nerds), Dark Cross kicks it all off this weekend. The fine folks at Dark Red Racing are upping the ante with fireworks, freakin’ laser beams, live music, fire dancers and the famous grandstand run-up and fly-over. Sounds good, no?
We’ll get into the cross spirit this Thursday by playing follow the leader through some ditches, over some hills and into the tall grass at the park. Next week we’ll see if we can ride the motocross track. Oh boy! See you at 8.
Here are the official results of the Back Forty Bunny Dodger thanks to race commissaire, Wendy Dyck and all her clever cleverness.

Team Four Penners and a Dyck raised $1705.00 for their MS fun-raising efforts. My favourite memories were the ominous multi-bike crash 40 meters into the race, post race fireworks, and digging carrots during the race. Thanks again for the good times. JS
