Race the NIMBY Fifty!

Posted: Apr 28 2011 in Events

Looking for a fun and challenging XC Mountain Bike Race?

Look no further than the NIMBY Fifty! Coming up May 28th, this second annual edition of the race is sure to be a blast!  And for 2011, the Nimby Fifty is being present by Different Bikes! Expect pre-race support from Different Bikes, and great swag prizing from Different Bikes and a host of other sponsors including BC Bike Race, Chromag and BikeCo.

Here's the latest update from the NIMBY Team!

We've got some exciting news to share about the Sea to Sky corridor's newest bike race, which takes place in Pemberton on May 28th: Nimby Fifty is now part of the Hell of a Series, has a new official presenting sponsor and a new start/finish venue.

Nimby Fifty registration is now $60. The race has been capped at 300 riders and is over 75% full. So if you have not signed up yet, here's a few good reasons to do so - as if the miles of sweet Pemby single track are not enough.

First off, the secret's out, riding in Pemberton is epic and so is this race. It's fun, it's hard and there's an atmosphere simply unrivalled by any other marathon bike race on the Coast. Those who participated last year had nothing but rave reviews on the course, trails and the after party. You will not leave hungry either. Western Promises, a new restaurant in Pemberton specializing in locally sourced gourmet food, will be catering the post-race feast, and Papa Josh will be back to crank out the tunes.

If you're interested in coming up to pre-ride the course, you won't be disappointed. The only portion still under snow is the Big Nimby climb from above Bob Gnarly to the Paraglide Launch. The road up to Overnight Sensation is also quite snow covered though Overnight itself is all clear.  Signage will be going up to mark the course in its entirety over the next few weeks.

Still here? Great, now's where we get to tell you about the new start/finish area. This year Nimby Fifty will be starting from and finishing at North Arm Farm, which is just across the highway and a few hundred meters east of where we started from last year.  More info on that later.

Happy Trails & Training,
