BNS Canada Games Selection Race Cancelled

The BNS Canada Games selection race scheduled for April 26, 2009 has been cancelled. A Core Team Training Camp will now take place on April 26th, 2009.

The selection TT race planned for April 26th, 2009 has been canceled and the staff will focus this day as a core team training camp. The reason for the cancellation is that the current members of the core team have already completed these qualification criteria for the Canada Games, and we have not received any other inquires from other potential athletes that are eligible for the games. Since we do not have any further members to add to the core team, the May 3rd selection XC race will be open to current core team members, to complete the selection process.

If you have any questions regarding this action please contact mark Collins at: athlete@bicycle.ns.ca

Michelin Sponsors Canada Games Team

Michelin will be providing both road & mtb tires to be used in training & competition during the The Canada Summer Games being held in Prince Edward Island from August 15-29, 2009.

Also, team members will wear Michelin branded clothing made by Hincapie Sportswear during training.

The Canada Summer Games are a national multi-sport and cultural event being held August 15-29 in Prince Edward Island and will feature 18 different sports. For more on Team Nova Scotia, visit http://bicycle.ns.ca/canadagames.

The Michelin saga began in 1891, with the invention of the first demountable tyre for bicycles. Over the ensuing years, Michelin has never stopped technological innovations for bicycles, such as the first flexible-bead clincher in 1978, the first tyre with a high-density carcass in 1983, and the first tyre with a high-performance silica rubber compound in 1995. In 2000, Michelin introduced the first tubeless tyre for mountain bikes, and has been testing tubeless road tyres in competition since 2003. For more information, visit http://www.teammichelin.com.
