EV Spring Series - Zero Ave and Armstrong
Announcement at Pedal Mag...
We only get the Zero Avenue course once this year (except for BCMCA racers who will get another chance this summer..) It is a fun, rolling course. Only about 50m of climbing per lap. With the final sprint up the one snippy little climb on 12 Ave up to 240 St. Parking is on 8 Ave west of 240 St.
Armstrong on Sunday (don't forget to switch to Daylight Savings Time before you go to bed on Saturday) is the start of the climbing courses. About 90m of climbing in a 3 step climb. With the final sprint towards the top of the climb. Parking is on 80 Ave, east of Armstrong Road.

EV Spring Series - upgrade points
This is from Cycling BC's rules:
6. What races can I enter to earn upgrade points?
Any race registered on Cycling BC’s provincial road calendar that offers all or some of the standard ability categories offers upgrade points for those categories, according to the scale (5 places deep): 8, 6, 4, 3, 2. This includes BC Cup Races.
Cycling BC does not track upgrade points for club, regional, or sport-class races (example: the EV spring series, weeknight races). However, riders who win their category at such a race may claim 1 upgrade point, provided that:
• It can be verified that the race was supervised by Commissaires
• The win occurred in a category of equal or greater difficulty than the rider’s current ability category
• The win can be verified by an independent source (i.e. a web site)
• At least 20 riders were present in the category
It is the rider’s responsibility to collect the necessary supporting information for presentation to Cycling BC. Usually, the name of the Commissaire present and a reference to the web site containing the results is sufficient.
So it would appear that you can get some upgrade points, if you win.
