West Coast Racing announce new Burnaby Mountain race

West Coast Racing, a community not-for-profit cycling club, announced a new event in British Columbia called the Cardiac Classic Bike Fest to be held on July 13 at Burnaby Mountain in the heart of metro Vancouver, Canada. It includes the famously steep climb that makes up part of Burnaby Mountain's trail network along with other twisty classics, plus brand new trails such as the reborn Gear Jammer and Hang Your Hat singletracks.

"Burnaby Mountain regulars will finally get the chance to show how well they can rail the trails they've been riding for so many years, while riders new to the mountain should get a real eye-opener seeing the course we can set smack in the middle of a large urban area," said West Coast Racing's Michael Tunnah. "Whether they’re on a super light hardtail or a long-travel rig, everyone will find spots where they can make time with their respective skills. Those just out for a casual day will be able to look back and say they were there at the inaugural Cardiac Classic." Tunnah promised a day of fun followed with a BBQ party afterwards.
