Spoiler: everyone is a winner at the NSMBA Fiver!
May saw us host the first Classic Fiver of the year with OneUp Components from Squamish, an event the whole mountain bike community looks forward to. The Fiver is a friendly evening enduro race putting the emphasis on friendly. While it's timed, there are no podiums or prizes, just bragging rights. Everybody that shows up gets to race their mates, have a good time, and have a good time at the apres.
We host a Fiver apres every year - supporting our community is one of our favourite things to do, so we're stoked to welcome the racers in for some well-earned food and drinks. Ash headed to the race up on Mount Fromme and caught up with racers back at the apres to find out what people were thinking about the course, how they were feeling after the race, and to get people stoked.
Ash caught up with Brian Earle, Fiver founder and organiser to chat about the history and format of the Fivers, and much more. Brian is a legend in the community and has done so much for us - so thanks Brian for all of your hard work!
Thanks to the NSMBA for allowing us to be a part of the Fiver series each year and for everything they do for the local mountain bike scene. If you haven't already, go get an NSMBA membership and help contribute to our trails. Thanks to OneUp Components for partnering with us this year and everybody else that helped make the first Classic Fiver of the year a success!
