BIKE RACE CANCELLED

The Stormrider Downhill Mountain Bike Race, which was slated for Aug. 24 at the 99 Mile trail network on Ainsworth Road, has been cancelled.

Race spokesperson Dwayne Chamberlain says organizers had no choice but to cancel the popular event because there weren’t enough volunteers to pull the downhill mountain bike race off.
