The 2013 BMX season got underway under cloudy, threatening skies in Cumberland at Coal Hills BMX Track.
A new year brought out the regulars and a few new riders to BMX and after a month of gate practise they were ready to go out and ride hard. The track was ready and the volunteers were ready, so it was time for the gate to drop on the 2013 season.
We had racks of racers from Courtenay, Comox, Campbell River and of course Cumberland. The youngest was three- year-old Elliot Purch; the oldest was a pair of 41-year-old racers. Here are the results:

3-year-old Elliot Purch 2nd.
