board members

Al Murison

President

Al Murison currently combines riding for local elite team Red Truck Racing with working for the accounting firm KPMG in the Enterprise Audit team, and is currently pursuing his CPA designation.

Growing up in the UK, Al began riding through the charity cycling event “The Paris to Hayling”. Having immediately caught the cycling bug, Al started racing in 2007 on both the road and track and the following year finished the season ranked 2nd in the U16 National Road Series (bragging rights are that year Simon Yates finished 1st & Adam Yates 3rd – they turned out to be quite good bike riders). Following a year racing in Belgium as a U23, Al attained a 1st Class Honours Degree in Kinesiology at the University of Exeter while riding for the French team Equipe CMI. Having moved to Vancouver in 2016, Al won the BC Provincial Road Championship in 2017 and the Provincial Criterium Championship in 2018.

When he’s not on his bike, Al audits small to medium sized clients and looks forward to bringing his experience working with these companies to the velodrome operations.
