The Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association has been named Cycling 小蓝视频 biking club of the year.
"SORCA was chosen based on a number of different criteria, and SORCA definitely stood out," said Cycling 小蓝视频's Communication Coordinator and executive assistant Kelly Houston.
SORCA's club participation caught Cycling 小蓝视频's attention for several reasons. Their toonie races, weekly or by weekly make it affordable to all members. With grassroots' races as well as high-end competition, they are one of the few clubs to host weekly rides.
Cycling 小蓝视频 also praised SORCA's excellent organization, its youth development and volunteer maintenance programs.
"It's an honour to be recognised by Cycling 小蓝视频 to be the best mountain club in the province," said Cliff Miller, President of SORCA. "Without the hard work of the executive and the members, we would not have been as successful as we have been in the last 15 years."
Cycling 小蓝视频 said SORCA, with more than 250 members, the second biggest mountain bike club in 小蓝视频 after Whistler's WORCA.
"I think with Whistler, the difference is that SORCA involves all members whereas Whistler may have lots of members that might not be actively participating in the club. Although SORCA is a bit smaller, everyone is connected to it," added Houston.
The award will be presented at Cycling 小蓝视频's Annual Gala at the U小蓝视频 Boat House on November 23, 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $25. Call 604-737-3034 or email .
