Being held tomorrow. It has rain almost all week and poured today so it is a mud bath there. This is where we usually ride so we know the terrain, home town advantage!!! ;)

There will be about 700 riders so this a a big event. Here is a link to the Ontario Cup Mountain Bike Championship Series.

Sounds like FUN!! That looks like a beautiful course. We sure don't have trees like that here.

Good luck and have a great time!

It sounds like a real mud slinging time to be had by all!!

You be safe, out there!

And GOOD LUCK!!

Chuck

Hoping you get good weather tomorrow.  Have fun - and try not to get yourselves all caked in that good Muskoka mud!!!

  Kind of hard to read. But does that card say that you're entered in the century cup? Good luck man. Centuries aren't easy.
  The Mid-West Recumbent Rally is this weekend also.

Lots of fun and a great time. :)

Angie - did you have to hose him off before you let him in the house.

Looks like he had a good time, but what did you do?  Weren't you riding as well?

Well thankfully Mike (owner of the cycling center) had wash stations set up so we were able to get somewhat clean but there was no change room so we had to do what we had to do to get into dry clothes. Yup, strip down behind the car door and get changed in the parking lot :-[

Angie did not race but took a bunch of photos and vids so we can make a DVD of the event. Last week our holidays got canceled so we could not make the Niagara meet but we are both off this week and doing mountain bike day trips and todays adventure is taking us and our four friends to Algonquin Park, a real majestic forest indeed. Lots of moose and other critters here. We will take the camera with us and share them when we get home.

I had a blast racing but this is more our way of riding, should be a lot of fun. :)

  I just noticed, you have gripless pedals on your bike. I prefer the Shimano MTB PM-540 pedals. They're lighter. And perhaps give me a few more Watts of power with each stroke. YMMV
