Week of August 10th

 

 
 

NOCS Virtual Toonie this week is at Kal Park and we are riding...

NOCS Virtual Toonie Ride #7 (Please label it this in your strava/trailforks so it is easy for us to find!)

Week 7 brings us back down to the valley with a hard core pedal. Head out from Cougar canyon parking lot and make your way up Stone Free, Upper Stone Free, and finally Pali Gap. From Pali Gap you will see the Dope on a Rope sign (ask a local about how the name came to be). If you're feeling confident make your way down Dope on a Rope, a short section of Big Ed, and finish with Fraidy Cat. From there you will pedal up the High Rim trail and take Twisted Sister back to the Parking lot. If you are unsure about what is ahead then just come back down Pali Gap, Upper Stone Free, and then Twisted Sister. Pick your line and keep tires to dirt!

Remember that you have until Sunday at noon to ride this loop... and don't forget to press record. Once you see that NOCS Badge in trailforks you know that you have successfully completed this weeks challenge!

Our prizes this week are sponsored by Skyride Bike Shop with 6 prizes of $50 gift certificates up for grabs! Woot woot!!

Our food sponsor is Pho Fusion. NOCS members will receive 10% off all purchases and Pho Fusion will donate $2 back to the club. You are going to need to refuel after this longer bike pedal!

A reminder of what you need to do :: download the TrailForks app, and to purchase your $20.00 Toonie Ride Season Pass, head to our website (www.nocs.ca) to purchase this pass. Then record your session on trailforks and label it NOCS Toonie Ride #7. Snap a pic of you on the trail and tag us at #mtbvernon and #NOCSVirtualToonie. Wait to hear who wins the draw in next weeks newsletter. Pretty simple and super fun. If you have any technical difficulties please contact Marco at toonies@nocs.ca.

FYI :: If you don't have a NOCS Membership you will need to purchase one to be eligible to win prizes. This is open to all ages so if you have some younger or older biking Ninjas in your crew encourage them to join in the fun! You can join in any time - ride as many of the routes as you can during our summer season!
