John Henry Days: The Dreaded 150 returns...
John Henry Days are back!
This May 7th to 10th John Henry Bikes presents the 17th Annual John Henry Days. Our biggest festival and sale of the year. This year we are shutting down the newly minted street for the 2nd Annual Dreaded 150. A mix of race and obstacles put together by the incomparable Jay Hoots.
On Saturday, May 9th look forward to:
The Dreaded 150: Hootie is back and he is badder than ever. Bringing a bigger team of designers and a wilder side to the show. A new course design making it even more fun than it was last year. Two courses. Two pump tracks. Two picnic tables. Hop ups. Kiddie pools full of water. Multiple sets of skinnies. Pro teams vying for bragging rights...and maybe you versus a friend!!! That’s right, you can be involved.
First come first serve. $5 entry with all entry to NSMBA. Who will take the honours in this year's Dreaded 150 event? Call down to the shop now and get your name on the list. Pre-qualifying starts at 9a.m. on Saturday and the event takes place all day. At 2:00pm[ish] the industry takes over as an industry challenge will take place to crown the champion of the Dreaded bike world.
Course design:
This year, in conjunction with ESC Bike and Adventure Camps there is even a little rippers course so you young guns can go head to head on a Dreaded course.
Are you big enough to be the champion? Call 604-986-5534 or email: info@johnhenrybikes.com.

Industry Showcase
The industry is out in force. Tents, products, reps, demo bikes and just some sweet fun. Come down and talk directly to the companies that make it happen. They want to know what you think and the industry trade show is always a hit.
Youth Lessons and Demos
Last but certainly not least: the newest addition to the John Henry Bikes team, ESC Bike and Adventure Camps, the North Shore's oldest summer bike camp company, will be holding a kids festival including lessons and a whole lot of fun. Make sure you bring your bike if you are between 2 and 15 years old. Parents need to sign the waiver and then they can grab a coffee, watch the show and relax as the ESC team ignites the flames of mountain biking passion. Learn the rules of the road, practice stunt riding, learn new tricks and just generally have a blast.
A huge barbeque, music, the street is shut down and the shows go on rain or shine. May 7-10 is John Henry Days and there is nothing but deals on sweet products. Bikes and parts, clothing and accessories are all on sale.
The 17th Annual John Henry Days. Free for all, fun for everyone.
The legend continues.
Are you going to make time for it this year?
