Thanks to the great guys at the BC Bike Race, we had an entry to give away for their race in 2009.  If you haven’t heard of this event, it is a seven day mountain bike stage race that starts in Shawnigan Lake and ends in Whistler.  It has been dubbed the ultimate singletrack experience and it lives up to its name in a big way with each stage featuring amazing amounts of XC riding.

The entry was auctioned off at the MOMAR Cumberland awards banquet with 100% of the proceeds going to our official charity, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC.  The entry is worth $4500+gst and with many fanatical mountain bikers in the room the bidding war began.  Active bidders included Brian McCurdy, Harold Williams, Wil Lim, and few others, but it was Curtis Labounty–along with partner Marshall House–who prevailed with a final bid price of $4100!

Thanks to everyone for being part of the live auction especially BC Bike Race for the donation!!!
