The first race of the Spring Opener – Thunderbird – took place on Sunday, March 1 in Langley, B.C. With a record turnout, under sunny skies several PCC coached athletes took part proudly representing their club and team.
As an early season event, this race provided an excellent opportunity for riders to begin sharpening their racing mindset and rebuilding race routines after the winter period.
“Early season races like this play an important role in athlete development,” said PCC head coach Houshang Amiri. “They help athletes gradually return to intense competition while allowing coaches to assess fitness, skills, and tactical execution ahead of the busy spring and summer racing calendar. These early events set the foundation for confident, well-prepared performances as the season progresses.”
Organized by Local Ride, the spring series continues with the Thornhill Circuit Race on March 7 and Wix Brown on March 8.
