Dunbar Cycles - Summer Series

INTENSE TEAMS UP WITH OGC to sponsor BC Cups

Intense Cycles is heading North of the border this summer for some world class riding and racing presented by SE Racing. The three-event series will each feature its own venue, starting with the Silver Star BC Cup  in Vernon, BC on Sunday, July 28, followed by the Western Open at the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, BC on August 4th and concluding with the Fernie BC Cup September 1st in Fernie BC.

Race director, Stephen Exley says, "I'm excited to be working with Intense USA in 2013,and I'm looking forward to building on last season's momentum with the addition of Dunbar Cycles and Intense in 2013. Intense has stepped things up, growing their sponsor program and having great riders such as Matt Beer, Chris Kovarik and Claire Buchar. It should be an amazing year."

Net proceeds from each event will be donated to the Love for Lola Foundation - a fund started by race director Stephen Exley to assist with his daughter's rehabilitation from a viral encephalitis, a brain infection she contracted when she was two and a half. Lola's amazing story is posted at www.loveforlola.com.
