WCU 2011 Vancouver, BC May 27-30, 2011

The first annual West Coast Unvitational; a west coast bike messenger event in Vancouver, BC. This event is to commemorate the 10 year running of the Westside Invite held in Portland, OR from 2000-2010. We started the event in hopes that it can travel to a different West Coast city every year. Let's get this rolling.

Race write up

Hey guys, Thank you so much for all the love and support to make this event what it was. Everything went extremely smooth, despite the numerous venue changes, injuries, and a little bit a heat during the cambie sprints. Friday nights Cambie sprints saw two bails in its two locations that we had people competing. No permanent damage done, Nathan L took his third time win for the sprints and Elle Fox made it the farthest for gals. Saturday we had a decent amount of early risers out for the breakfast cat. Nathan L took a second win for the weekend while getting to eat bananas, bagels, eggs, cereal, and juice. The Vancouver Dead Babies had a great ride in the afternoon with a ride from Queen Elizabeth Park to Strathcona Park with Tall Bike Jousting, 6-pack relays, skids, and trackstands. On Sunday, local favorite Dylan Davies took the win for guys and Kati J took the win for the ladies (after showing up ten minutes late) for the main race. Finally on our workday alleycat on monday, out-of-towners got to compete by dropping of love letters from our local couriers to their favorite receptionists while picking up a poker hand from our favorite bike shops. Jabber Jeff from Montreal and Matty Face from Seattle tied and Matty Face took the poker hand.

Once again, I want to thank all the sponsors and everyone who offered up their help and support to make this happen.
