Oak Bay Bicycles Cops for Cancer Criterium in Windsor Park
Oak Bay Bicycles Cops for Cancer Criterium in Windsor Park
Bike Club Info on the latest from OBB – Oak Bay Bikes is putting on its ‘Cops for Cancer Criterium’ in Windsor Park again this year. It all happens on Sunday July 25th. This event raises money for the Canadian Cancer Society and is a ton of fun, with races running from 8:30am-12 noon. This year, in addition to the Group B (Intermediate) and Group A (Men’s Elite) categories, we will have a Kids’ Challenge and a Fixed Gear category.
The Kids’ Challenge is a fun event where kids under 12 will get to ride with some of Canada’s best cyclists and have a great time. There will be prizes, coffee and muffins by donation for the proud parents, and the event is FREE!
The Fixed Gear category is new to the event this year, and we’re super excited for it. The race will be 25 minutes plus 2 laps. Helmets and brakeless bikes mandatory.
For all the races (except the Kids’ Challenge) there is a minimum donation of $10, which goes to the Canadian Cancer Society. Visit their blog post for all the info and schedule for the event:

Jose Bermudez won the Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc in the OBB Westshore Grand Opening draw, and he was super excited to pick it up. Congrats to Jose, and thanks to everyone who is shopping out at Westshore and making that shop a great success.
Altitude 29er Newsletter-Only Sale
OBB has 2010 Rocky Mountain Altitude 29ers on sale at $3500 from $4500 for anyone who receives thier newsletter or mentions it (so tell your friends). Thye have all sizes available as of today; call for specific availability, as some of them are out at the Westshore store. Not convinced that 29ers are for you? They have several 29er demo bikes, so come try one out! You can even take one out for the Wednesday Night chill ride at Hartland – just call ahead to reserve!
Tour de France Sale
To celebrate the Tour de France they’ve put all road bikes on sale at 15% off, and lots of folks have received some pretty sweet deals on new rides. However the Tour ends on July 25th, so if you’re considering a new road bike this might be the right moment!
Roots Rocky Reggae
Rocky Mountain Bikes is having a customer appreciation day at Mount Washington next weekend called Roots Rocky Reggae! The deal is that if you show up on a Rocky Mountain, on Saturday July 24th, you’ll get a free lift pass. And then, on Sunday the 25th, bring a friend with you (even if they’re not on a Rocky!) because they’ll hook you up with 2-for-1 lift passes.
I also hear that Brett Tippie and some other pros will be there, as well as some of their 2011 bikes for people to ogle. On top of BBQs, a DJ, giveaways and more, this sounds like an awesome way to spend your weekend if our Windsor Park Criterium isn’t quite your thing. More info here:
