Daniel Fraser-Maraun

Years Riding: Since I was 3, but seriously for under 6 months.

Accomplishments: I was a solid national level junior rower. Among my notable performances, I pulled a 6:152k erg, nabbed a u23 BC Championship as a Junior, and won the Royal Canadian Henley in the U19 2x. After a few years of stagnancy following my leaving the sport of rowing, I now aim to become an elite in the sport of cycling. As of this moment, I boast a 100% winrate in the TT discipline.

John Mayr

I am a resident of New Westminster and have been a member at BVC for a couple years. My passion in competition started in aquatics and transitioned through competitive road running, cycling, triathlons, and track. I’ve been involved in sport as a coach and volunteer in numerous capacities and sports. To support my athletic endeavours I work for one of the professional regulatory bodies in the province. I have 20 years experience in the not-for-profit sector, an MBA and Master of Law. I hope to be of service to the members and seek to ensure the long term viability of track cycling in BC

John White

I’ve been a member of BVC since 2012, having turned up for an open day and instantly getting hooked. I’m also a member of Gastown Cycling and race for the Racing Reds at as many road and track events as possible. Having volunteered on the ground at a number of BVC events, I wanted to get even more involved in ensuring that we can continue to enjoy this gem of a facility for years to come. Professionally, I manage an IT department for an information communications company and have a degree in business information technology.

Derek Ulrich

Derek has been a BVC member since 2012. After his first learn to ride, he went out an bought a track bike and membership. He’s also on the board of directors for Gastown Cycling. When he’s not on the bike, his real job is in Information Technology. Derek’s turn offs are smoking, rude people, and traffic.
