Celebrate 100 years of BC Parks with NSMBA

NSMBA passed this on to me:

Celebrate 100 years of BC Parks with NSMBA on August 27th

2011 marks the 100th birthday of BC Parks.  To celebrate this centennial landmark, the North Shore Mountain Bike Association in association with Mountain Equipment Co-op and BC Parks invite you to celebrate mountain bike culture in BC.

Join us on August 27th for a fun-packed, family oriented day celebrating mountain biking in BC at the Old Buck Car Park located at the base of Mount Seymour Provincial Park.  Enjoy free food and entertainment. Bring your bike and join one of the planned group rides (teens and adults) or the children’s run-bike race.

There will be free prizes, and a chance to watch the fantastic Flow Riders as they perform their acrobatic bike show.  What a perfect way to spend a day with the family, riding bikes and enjoying one of our beautiful provincial parks!  See you all there.
