Ok, you
have to be brave to show up for a marathon when the
weather reports call for 100% chance of rain.
Well, at least the volunteers and photographers have
to be.
Thankfully (insert huge sigh of relief here) the day
was perfect for the runners and I did not have to
bring out the rain gear. I know I say this
every year, but this event always seems run so
smoothly. The volunteers were amazing.
Thank you.
As you can see I got a little carried away with the
photographs. I was so inspired by the racers
and some of their stories. Sure the marathon
class athletes were fast, but it was more than just
a race. For some it was about teamwork, others
used it to raise money for a good cause and for
others it was a personal challenge. It was
hard just to take one photo, so here they are:

was a busy day for the Kelowna BMX Club. First
there was a double points race, then a pit bike race
and finally the long awaited
Cyclepath Bike Raffle took place.
Kyle Rein was the lucky winner of the bike.

What a
close race season this turned out to be.
Thursday was the last race of the 2007 Kelowna
Autocross Series, and what a nail biter it was.
When all was said and done, Jim McLaughlan in his
1990
TRAVELTYME RV sponsored Miata came out on
top. He narrowly beat Matt Scaife and his
PRIMUS 1995
Miata.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT
BMX ACTION |
|
The
Kelowna BMX club really needs a few dry days to
complete it's season. Rain may be very
important for all of you with green thumbs, but it
is not good for the race track. Just a
reminder - Please do not use the track when it is
wet, damp and/or muddy. Ruts will form very
quickly and that is unsafe for the racers. Cal
Maier was on hand to get some of the racing action
from last Wednesday night.
