Canadian National Trial (wec)

[outlaw dave]

It's now only two weeks until rounds one and two of the Canadian Championship Trial on Vancouver Island

in Beautiful British Columbia. - The weather in BC is quite mild, and most riders have already got in lots

of practice, except for the Eastern riders, and this includes current Champ Steve Foord who emigrated from

the UK last year. Steve lives in Calgary. Alberta, and at the moment they are suffering with a spring snow

storm. - The Shawnigan Lake area, where the Trial will be held, is a Trials rider's paradise , with tight trails,

and lots of big moss covered rocks. The Clerk of the course for the event, is multi- time Canadian Champ,

Steve Fracy, whose son Matt is now following in the steps of his Dad, and is sure to have a bright future.

Vancouver Island is situated only a short 90 min Ferry ride from the bustling city of Vancouver, where the recent

Winter Olympics were held.

The two day National, will be followed by a vintage Trial on the Monday, so there is a class for everyone, plus a

chance to enjoy the scenic views around the old British type City of Victoria, just a short drive from the Trials site.

The first two rounds of the 2010 WEC Canadian National Trials Championships, are

now in the History books. The Vancouver Island Events, hosted by the Up Island Club

turned out to be both challenging and enjoyable, with Wilson Craig(GG) taking the wins both

days over a short 7km loop in the Shawnigan Lake region near Victoria.

Organizer Steve Fracy had laid out some really good sections, that certainly took points in the

top classes, but sensible basic type creek and rock sections with tight turns and cambers

made the Trial fun for the lower ranked riders. The full results can be seen on Trials Canada
