Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support at the 2009/2010 Abbotsford Indoor BMX builds.  It was quite an ending to the indoor season with Tory Nyhaug winning the 14 & Over Pro AM Saturday Night, as well as, winning the over all standings.  In the 13 & Under Challenge, Kyle Murphy won the night, but, Jared Ennis barely squeaked by to defeat Kyle Murphy in the overall standings.  Congratulations to all the Pitt Bike Jersey winners on Sunday and we hope to see you riding those bikes at our next indoor build.  We forgot to mention that the winning teams for last week's BC Cup races for both days was Cool Beans, congratulations to them.  Race results for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are now posted.  So are the overall points for the 14 & Over Pro Am, plus the 13 & Under Challenge.  Once again, thank you to all our supporters and many thanks to the Abby Executive for working so hard to bring us the indoor builds.  We all look forward to the 2010 outdoor season which begins in April.  Until then, cheer our athletes as they compete at the 2010 Olympics.  
              GO CANADA GO!!!!
