DH - Downhill
XC - Cross Country
Fraser Valley Mountain Bikers Assocation again runs the Downhill portion of the Bear Mountain Challenge. Additionally, this year, FVMBA will run the Red Mountain XC challenge - now called the Bear Mountain XC challenge.
The Downhill course is undisputedly the biggest and best in Canada. Four minutes of perfectly groomed single track that consistently draws the fastest racers in the country. The crew promises the same great course and, as always a few surprises! The XC course is magnificent! Lush single track through a pristine rain forest on some of the freshest trails around. This course promises to challenge the endurance and the technical skills of every competitor. Good times, great people, come find out for yourself what makes the Bear Mountain Challenge and/or the Bear Mountain XC challenge a must do for every mountain bike enthusiast.
Note: Bear Mountain XC is actually held on Red Mountain on the same trails - for all you who were wondering what happened to the Red Mountain Challenge. As always, the course changes slightly each year, just to keep things interesting.
