2009 Bear Mountain Challenge
DH - Downhill
XC - Cross Country
 
Bear Mountain DH Challenge & the Bear Mountain XC challenge is ON!!!!- (XC on Red Mtn)

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 across the street on Red Mountain 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. This year’s course will be a combination of last years course and the course from previous years. Big climbs, and technical singletrack descents!

Good times, great people, come find out for yourself what makes the Bear Mountain Challenge a must do for every mountain bike enthusiast.
