What are the dates for the Nova Scotia DH ride days?

I wouldn't worry about it too much Jamie. I figure that the low maintenance nature of the ride days will likely end up meaning we get a few on the last minute etc. Where they are club events, let the clubs publish the details and dates as they see fit.

Keppoch DH ride weekends
June 26th, 27th
Sept 18th, 19th

Atlantic Champs? WTF? according to whom?

lol we're gona host the world champs at whopper this year!

There has not been an atlantic champs in a long time. A group of us have been working towards it but have been slowed by the differences in catagories. That is one of the reasons we have switched to the a b c f style of catagories. Now the provinces line up so overall points can be tabulated and we can have a true Atlantic series. Check out nsnb.com to see what we have been working on for a few years now.

Nope, that was a fest. The truck give away was a compleat crock. I was there. There was no way anyone was walking away with a truck from that event. They can't claim to be atlantic champs without consulting the respective provinces.

well so they did the snarky bastards. Im just waiting for someone from sugarloaf to comment on there claims. I still stand by they can't host the Atlantic chapms on account of not contacting the other provinces.

LOL

wooooooo wooooo wooooo.
simma down. Conor calls it as he sees it, and would say it just like that face to face or on the phone. So the E-penis thing is un-called for.

This is a thread about DH events so is the most influential dude in Maritime DH racing (your welcome Conor) just supposed to keep his E-mouth shut????? Doubt er.

Fo the record I completely aggree with Mr Stallion. Just deciding on your own that your race is Atlantic Champs is pretty lame.

On a seperate note..........Are the 2nd DH weekends at Wentworth and Keppoch going to involve a race on Sunday?????? I think its a great plan! Boost the series up to 5 races. Maybe one of those races can be Atlantic champs.

First, Thank you Mr. Biff. Im flattered. As for the other Wentworth weekends, I will see how the race/ride sunday goes in June and if it goes well then I think we can look forward to another dh race.

I enjoy streaching my E-penis from time to time. However, I make myself pretty contactable by posting up my email and phone number on a reguar basis and I have not yet seen either for the sugarloaf boys nor do i know who they are. That being said, I will take a read through one of the sugarloaf forums and see if i can locate the correct individual. I just find it increadably arrogant that someone would presume to call their race the Atlantic Champianships without consulting the other organisers. Im all for an Champs but it has to be done in an organised fashion. Bidding process/rotating basis, something.
If anyone needs to contact me regarding my comments i can be reached at conor.scallion@gmail.com

are they organizing anything else besides the "atlantics"

maybe a velo NB contact would O9 has a bunch of those

The "Atlantic Championships", unlike the Provincial Championships, have no official status. Anybody can say that they are hosting the Atlantics. One organizer can hold the Super Cool Turbo Injected Atlantics from Hell and another could hold the Eyes the Bye Who Holds the Atlantic Championships.

There has, over the past 20 years, been an informal agreement between the Maritime Provinces that each year a specific event would be deemed "Atlantic Championships". The various provincial VP MTB's usually, after consultation with the BNS MTB Committee and after taking offers from various organizers, contact each other and settle on an event.

At one point it was set up in a way that it would rotate through the various four provinces year after year, but the sequence was probably broken after one province or other didn't bother taking advantage of 'their turn'.
