E-Bike Summer Raffle is LIVE - Thank you, COMMENCAL!

The Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association (SORCA) and COMMENCAL have partnered up to raffle off a COMMENCAL T.E.M.P.O. POWER ESSENTIAL e-bike (valued at $7500 CAD), with all proceeds going back to our community's trails! Concurrently, we will be running a 50/50 raffle with 50% of funds raised going straight back into your Squamish trails, and the other half to the lucky winner!

All proceeds from these raffles go to SORCA for trail maintenance (trail crew and contractor). Every year, ridership on our trail network increases, leading to greater wear and tear on our infrastructure. Every dollar from this raffle goes directly toward funding the tools, materials, and maintenance required to keep our local network thriving, and every ticket you buy gives you more chances to win!

Thank you, COMMENCAL, for your ongoing support of SORCA, our trail network, and the local mountain bike community. From backing our summer raffle to co-hosting awesome après events, COMMENCAL continues to be a strong partner for our trails and our community.

The winners will be drawn on September 28th at 12:00PM PDT, so be sure to get your tickets before then!

Tickets are on sale now; find them at the link: https://trellis.org/sorca-bike-raffle-5050-2026
