Heading over to the Worlds a couple days early? You might want to race the Pre-Worlds in Abbotsford. The track has been re-built with input from Tom Ritzenthaler (the builder of the Worlds, Supercross and Olympic tracks) and there are many nations already signed up to compete. It is a UCI sanctioned event and happens from July 20-21st. More info here or register via Karelo.com

Although bicycle pads are no longer MANDATORY in Alberta or BC (but recommended) they ARE REQUIRED by law in Ontario and Quebec (as anyone who went to the Canadian Championships can tell you) for Provincial insurance reasons.
Also, it is mandatory at all CCA/UCI races (and is being enforced at Provincials also) to have a number plate on your bike during all practices, warmups and races. Numbers shall meet the required size as per the UCI standard. Rule Book here

Medicine Hat did some track work in preparation for Provincial #4 this weekend. Although it didn't break the rider numbers record, the weather was good (just enough rain to keep the temperature down and the track groomed). Racing and organization was great as always at Alberta Provincials. The results will be posted on our POINTS page.

The Canadian National Championships took place on a newly constructed track in Bromont, Quebec over the weekend of June 29 - July 1st. The track was technical and took it's share of top riders. There was a good showing of Juniors and Elites as it was a requirement for them if they wanted to compete at the Victoria Worlds later this month. The Albertans that did make the trip made a good showing in all classes. There are some pics and videos on the Airdrie website and the full results can be seen on our POINTS page
