Procrastinating is not an option if you still want to race in this year's Test of Metal mountain bike race.
The Test has sold more than 400 of its 800 available start numbers by Wednesday (Jan. 5), only five days after registration began, say organizers.
In 2004, the race sold out by March 9, which is sure to be eclipsed this year.
"This race is 10 years old this year, and it's getting stronger and better every year. Mountain biking continues to grow and the Test of Metal organization continues its commitment to put on the best race anywhere," says Cliff Miller, Test of Metal executive director.
"We must be doing something right - it's exciting how much interest there is in this event. This is great for Squamish, the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada and a North American mountain bike mecca."
The Test of Metal takes place on June 18. For more information, or to enter, go to www.testofmetal.com.
