Sunshine greated the Invergarry Pump Track Toonie racers on May 7, to pump the freshly maintained track by the crew from Dirt West.

The 6 and under category was taken by Evan Weeks, while the 13 & under found Yusof Masood in 2nd and Owen Lowe in first.  The hotly contested Adult category found Josh Kennedy with a 41.55 sec for 3rd, Alex Matthew's 39.46 an extremely close 2nd to Steve Lesley's 39.39!  THANK YOU to The Bike Zone for some great swag and on site support. 

All the great photos can be found on our Flikr page HERE.    LIVE video can be found on our FaceBook page.

This had to be the soggiest JunkYard Dog in history! The torrent left the course in a muddy state and took it's toll on the 96 registrants.

The Red Racer Beer Garden and Papa Murphy's on site prepared hot pizza was a welcome reward for all the hard work. THANK YOU to all the workers, from the set-up crew, registration, course marshalls to the tear down. WELL DONE!

After many months of designing, printing and building, the SSBP map sign has finally been installed. Through proceeds from the various Red Racer beer gardens, Peter, Larry and Mike finished the installation yesterday while we had a break in the weather. It not only includes the most recent trail upgrades, but has the JunkYard Dog logo with a post number at each junction to show the JYD route.  On the right side is a bulletin board to properly display SORCE events. In the legend are QR codes to be scanned by your mobile device to instantly download the map.

Cool, windy, but sunny weather greated 21 racers at the April 2nd Toonie #2 XC race at South Surrey Bike Park.

The JunkYard Dog course was mostly dry, with a few muddy spots after the heavy rains of late. Racers were the first to try out a new feature, Little Ripper at sign post #8. Created by Vince and Larry, the drop is now augmented with a cool roll over, a rollable jump to follow, and into a mini rock garden. A perfect test before the JunkYard Dog BC Cup racers hit the circuit in 3 weeks.

Special thank you to title sponsor South Surrey Cycles, who provided some cool swag and mechanic Justin with his full complement of tools for tune ups. He was kept busy.  Check out the photos on FLICKR, and a couple live FB video clips of the action on our FB page. Race results on WEBSCORER.

The JunkYard Dog BC Cup XC race is all set for April 23rd at SSBP. Registration is open with full details HERE.

A respite from the rain greated over 20 racers at the Delta Watershed for Toonie race #1, March 12. 

Brett layed out another excellent course through the challenging trails of the Shed. The 5km laps took riders over familiar trails and some not so familiar to spice up the race. The mud was relentless but didn't dampen the racers spirits in the least - I think they relished it! Thank you Rocky Cycle for sponsoring the day with some great swag. Lorelei took some fantastic photos which are up on the Flickr page HERE.

Toonie Race #2 is at South Surrey Bike Park for laps of the JunkYard Dog course on Sunday, April 2.

As you may have noticed, fallers have begun bringing down trees in the South Surrey Bike Park, and throughout the entire Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest, (SAUF) of which the SSBP is apart. Every 13 years the City of Surrey, with a group of professionals, assess every treed park to determine which trees pose a hazard to citizens, and which need to be removed to reduce the hazard.  The assessment determined that 900 trees needed to be removed, 400 in the SSBP.  Although this is saddening news, SORCE understands the need for the City of Surrey to mitigate risk.  Rest assured, that almost all of these trees are completely dead without any foliage. We are working closely with the City to identify any trees we don't think should be removed, and have had success in lowering that number. 

Please be aware of this work going on in the forest over March, and be respectful and careful around the workers doing their jobs.  This fall, the City of Surrey will plant 1800 native species trees to replace the ones being removed.  Thank you for your cooperation. Garvey Allisen.
