2019 Tri-Cities Motorcycle Challenge

The most fun you can have on two wheels at the 2^nd Annual Tri-Cities Motorcycle Challenge

Coquitlam RCMP, Port Moody Police, and ICBC are teaming up again to bring you the 2^nd Annual Tri-Cities Motorcycle Challenge (TCMC) on June 2, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Motorcyclists can compare their slow-speed riding skills against those of their local police forces by attempting to complete the same course used to train police officers. Tips and tricks will be provided by both Port Moody Police and RCMP motorcycle operators. Cheers and thumbs up will also be provided free of charge from the police for those who complete the course successfully.

“This event allows motorcycle riders to test their mettle in a low-stress and friendly environment,” says Constable Matt Ericson with Coquitlam RCMP Traffic Services. “It was busy last year and we had a great time. We’re hoping for even more riders and fun this year.”

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness month, and with warmer weather upon us more riders will be on the road. It is important that both drivers and riders practice safe driving to keep our communities safe.

All TCMC participants must present a valid Class 6, Class 6L or Class 8L motorcycle licence. Riders with a learners licence must be accompanied by a designated supervisor. A street-legal motorcycle and appropriate safety gear is also required.

Date: June 2, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Location: ICBC Driver Licensing Office

1930 Oxford Connector, Port Coquitlam, B.C.

Don’t forget your riding gear! A.T.G.A.T.T. (All The Gear All The Time)
