Latest Kokanee Phat Wednesday Downhill Report:

July 21, 2010

Hello All,

It was another one for the books. The 4th Kokanee Phat Wednesday of the season was raced on a brand new course, never raced on before. Dirt Merchant to Lower Easy Does It made for an interesting combination and I am sure Easy Does It has never seen such fast riding before. Thanks to the Whistler Blackcomb trail crew for building such nice new burms on Lower Easy Does It, it made for a nice pedally finish. Almost 200 racers came out again last night with the fastest time of the day going to Tyler Morland with a time of 3:55.86. But that wasn't enough to steal the leaders Jersey from Kenny Smith who took 3rd last night. In the Women's category, with the closest race of the season and taking 1st by only 5 100ths of a second Brook Baker keeps her leaders position. Relative newcomer to the series, Bryn Dickerson took the top spot in the Junior Male category for the second week in a row but still does not have enough points to take the leader jersey from Ollie Gregory-Jones. As usual a good time was had by all at the GLC for some prizes and a cold Kokanee.

Winning some of the draw prizes courtesy of our sponsors, Kokanee, WORCA, the GLC were:

Sram drive trains Ray Daniels, Chad Odinbrit and Davis Wes
Hayes Brakes Benedict Freudenmann
Decline subscription Trent Blucher
Maxxis tires Dylan Wolsky
Coast Mountain Photography gift certificate Josh Lyons
And many other prizes from Race Face, Odi , Decline Magazine, Dakine, Garbanzo Bike and Bean, the GLC and Kokanee

Latest PhaSt Report

Latest Kokanee PhaSt Wednesday Downhill Report:

July 7, 2010

Hello All,

Last night was the first Kokanee PhaSt Wednesday of the season. That meant a much more difficult course; yet, 133 riders braved the fist heat of summer and rode Schleyer to Lower Whistler Downhill to Detroit Rock City. PhaSt Wednesday is a different series meaning results from PhaSt Wednesdays don't affect their championship points in the Phat Wednesday series. The more difficult course brought new faces to the top of the podium this week with Curtis Keene posting the fastest time of the day of 2:36.33. And once again, not letting the harder runs be an issue, Sarah Leishman was on top of the women's podium. As usual, after all the racing was over, results and prizing was done over a well earned cold Kokanee on the GLC patio.

Winning some of the draw prizes courtesy of our sponsors, Kokanee, WORCA, the GLC were:

Sram drive train Jane Vogan and Garrett Jones
Hayes Brakes Ian Morrison
Maxxis Tires Angela Coates and Josh Lyons
Garbanzo Bike and Bean Gift Certificate Dane Crowe-Hudgkins
Kali Full Face Helmet Ben Hoffman
And many other prizes from Race Face, Odi , Decline Magazine, Dakine, Garbanzo Bike and Bean, the GLC and Kokanee

We will return to the Phat Wednesday series next week, July 14th with a mellower course than last night but a bit harder that last week. Remember we are capping riders at 200 so get there early and if you didn't race this week, get your WORCA membership online to make registration quicker. Course will be announced Tuesday of next week. Registration will be same as always; the Garbanzo Bike and Bean patio @ 5 pm and race starting @ 6 pm and Awards and prizes at the GLC
