International cyclist who helped put Prince George on racing map died suddenly in January
Kris Yip never passed up an opportunity to push Prince George cyclists to crank the pedals a little harder and go a bit faster.
So it’s only fitting that on Sunday, June 24 the club is organizing a 70-kilometre race and a fun ride event that will be the inaugural Kris Yip Memorial Fondo.Yip took up cycling at age 15 and went to become a junior national road and criterium champion in 1993 and raced for Canada’s senior national team. He represented Canada in the UCI Cycling Esport Championship in 2022 and finished 11th overall.
“Being able to offer something with the hopes of being able to find the next Kris Yip, this is huge opportunity to make sure the legacy continues where it started.”
