June 17, 2004 – Chico Racing is proud to be
presenting Ontario’s first 24-Hour event of the 2004 season:
the 7th Annual Sporting Life 24 Hours of Summer Solstice Energized by Mars
June 19-20, 2004 at Albion Hills Conservation Area in Bolton, Ontario.

Mountain-bike enthusiasts from all over Canada and parts of the USA will be
congregating this Saturday for the ultimate kick-off to summer. Soloists
and teams of 2-10 people will be completing as many laps as they can, on
the 18K course, in a 24-hour time period. Nutrition, strategy and pacing
will play a large part for those soloists and teams wanting to podium.
Most teams are joining us this weekend for their summer vacations
with families and a great weekend of mountain biking.

24-Hour mountain bike team relay events have been exploding in popularity
over the last 10 years. Our participant’s ages, abilities and goals are so
broad that completion of this type of event is not out of reach for anyone.
We even see grandparents and grandchildren on the same teams!

The fun starts on Saturday at noon and concludes Sunday at noon so be sure
to drop by Albion Hills Conservation Area for a peak at the action. A map
