Island Cup DH #1 Cumberland - Sunday March 29th

Posted: Mar 26, 2009

The United Riders of Cumberland are pleased to host the first DH race of the season on this classic course. This year the typically hot and dusty weather will be nowhere to be found as mud and remnants of snowfalls will be along the course. Conditions are tacky!

We have been able to get the road and trail cleared of snow and the race is on!

A few changes this year. We'll be having the parking right in Cumberland in the CRI parking lot and the registration in the #6 mine park.

Registration starts at 9am, shuttles shortly after and will run from the yellow gate.

Racing starts at high noon.

Race fees are $25 and include shuttles and a burger after the race.

When: Sun 29-Mar-2009

Where: DCDH Cumberland

Type: Downhill

Getting there: Parking and registration at the CRI / #6 Mine Park. Located on Comox Lake Road. Exit 117 from Inland Island Highway and turn to Cumberland. Follow Cumberland Road towards town. Follow Left fork as road turns into 4th St. Continue to stop sign at Dunsmuir Ave. Turn right and follow up to the second stop sign just past the CRI. Turn Left and park in the parking lot on your left.
