Port Alice opens its arms — and the slopes of Rumble Mountain — to the more adventurous of Vancouver Island’s mountain bikers this weekend with the annual Rumblefest mountain bike series Saturday and Sunday.
The weekend kicks off with the cross-country race starting at the marina and racing through town and over the slopes, beginning at noon Saturday. That is followed by the party, including bike rodeo and demos and salmon feed, culminating with the ceremonial midnight bike burning.
Action reaches a fever pitch Sunday morning with the Rumble Tumble Downhill race, beginning with trial rides at 10 a.m. Race begins after each rider has taken one trial run.
Registration info and forms are available online at rumblefest.com, or contact the Community Centre at 250-284-3912 or pacc@cablerocket.com. Day-of-race registration is available at the Legion Hall.
Golf deadline
The field is almost full for the annual Logger’s Golf Tournament and registration closes tomorrow at 5 p.m. for the two-day, three-flight scramble at Seven Hills Golf & Country Club.
The tournament, which includes dinner and prizes for all participants, features two, 18-hole flights Saturday, June 16 and another Sunday, June 17.
