Downhill Series
Produced by Worca and Whistler Blackcomb
Last night was the last of six events that took place throughout the summer on a variety of trails and we ended the season with the classic Chainless A-Line. Just over 130 participants came and took part in this event where every person received a new chain thanks to Sram at registration.
Now as fun as this event was, it had great importance for many riders as it did determine the winners in most of the categories; the standings prior to this race were very tight. We crowned new overall winners in the Jr Male category as Tyler Allison came through with 351 points over last year's winner, Simon D'Artois. All top five riders were within reach with Max Horner in 3rd place overall in our Jr Male category. In our Jr Female Category, Kerri Anne Hamilton keep her title from last year.
In our Female Category, a new champion, Beth Parsons, was crowned last night with a strong performance over the course of the season. Finally, in the Male Category, the race was on as Adam Billinghurst retained his title edging out JS Therrien by a small margin of 11 points. Matt Hebert finished the season in 3rd in the overall standings.
I would like to thank you for the record season we have had, averaging 125 racers per race with single attendance for one race as high as 180 racers. It wouldn't have been possible without the support of all the racers as well as all the people that made this happen:
Thank you very much to Caroline L'Heureux for all her help at each event dealing with registration and the crowds we had this year, to Worca (Katherine and co) for your support, to all the volunteers for the great season, making all these events possible in a safe and friendly environment, the GLC for having us for the Après and finally a huge thank you goes out to all our sponsors who came through once more with great prizing.
Wishing all a great end of summer and see you next year.
