The 2010 North Shore Bikefest celebrates outdoor recreation and cycling with tons of bike activities for the whole family.

Plus of course, the Lezyne Marathon XC dedicated to Richard Juryn returns on the most scenic of trails on the Shore. And the Specialized Smackdown BC Cup Downhill on the venerable Neds Atomic Dustbin.

Festival grounds with the Beer Garden and Concession in the Lacrosse box, demo tents in background.

The Festival is home to two keystone events. The Lezyne Marathon XC and Seymour Smackdown DH.

The Marathon started at Inter River park this year and finished just up the road so riders could coast down to the festival grounds.

Through the BMX track!

The Marathon Continued for another 25km.
