Mark Lawson | The 2010 Columbia Cup Event Information May 15 & 16, 2010 will be the seventh anniversary of The Columbia Cup fundraiser trials. The City of Goldendale, WA with the cooperation of local landowners, welcomes the riders every year to this fantastic venue for our annual event. Over the past seven years our event has been a major fundraiser for the USA and Canadian TdN Teams and the PNTA Junior Nationals riders. For 2010 we will once again be raising funds to support the young Northwest riders that will be competing in the 2010 Youth Nationals. Goldendale offers some of the world’s premier rock and hillside sections, all sections are located on private land and on city property. Many of the sections on the city property are set in the shadows of the 2001 World Round sections. And all of the sections are within easy walking distance from the event site. With such excellent terrain the Columbia Cup offers a total of 7 classes that range from your local Novice level all the way to lines that are comparable to the National Pro level! Whether you’re just starting out, or tuning up for the Nationals, the Columbia Cup is sure to be a fantastic time by all. The Columbia Cup event site is on private property, just a couple of miles out of town, and will not be accessible before noon on May 13. There is primitive camping on a dry level pasture, with plenty of room for trailers and motor homes. There will be portable toilets, but no running water or power available. As the site is so close to town, Goldendale’s hotels, restaurants and amenities are easily accessible from the event site. This year we will continue our Saturday tradition of having a Gate Section for all of the classes. The gate section is an area that is cordoned off with a number of gates, each having a point value. The object is to complete as many gates as you can with in a one-minute time limit; accumulating points as you go. But you only keep the points if you clean all of the gates you attempt! One “dab” and you are out. The Gate Section is open for practice before the event so riders can figure out the maximum number of points they can run up. And we strongly urge you to get there early and practice as this year a new rear tire will be awarded to the winner of each class! That’s right we will be giving away SHINY NEW TRIALS TIRES TO SEVEN LUCKY WINNERS! We will continue to update you via the Puget Sound Trialers (PST) web site at www.pugetsoundtrialers.com. We look forward to having everyone attend, so mark your calendar for May 15 & 16 and start making those travel plans! - 71.121.225.76 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:31:26 |
