Course Description
DC/DH Top to Bottom…..
Ya, that’s right, DC/DH, the Cumberland classic downhill. All reports are saying that course is in great shape. Lots of work to rebuild the start ramp, buffing along the course and some new lines will make for some great racing. Come and check it out beforehand for some stoke before the event.
The 2010 Vancouver Island Cup Mountain Bike Race Series, is BC’s premiere grassroots race series spanning the length of Vancouver Island. Cross Country, Downhill, Super D and Marathon disciplines are brought together from numerous local mountain bike clubs.
If you’re a first timer, seasoned pro or just out to have some fun we would love to see you experience mountain bike racing on Vancouver Island.

P.S. this site is great and very informative!

Hi, i was wondering how much a MTB license is and where i could purchase one, i am new to racing and would like to get into it, but how many races do i need to enter to break even (rather than buying individual passes at races)
