Canadian MTB Nationals

Permalink | No Comments (0) | Share This

Last weekend was the Canadian MTB Nationals held in Mont Ste-Anne, Quebec.  The temperature was hot and the course very rough with the rain we had the days before.  For sure, it was a real MTB course where the best rider should win the 6 laps race.  It was not a surprise for us to see Geoff Kabush win is 4^th Canadian title.

For me, I ended up 16^th.  My goal was a top 15.  I almost achieved it.  Riding 14^th in the last lap, I had legs cramps so I was just surviving at the end to pass the finish.  I am still happy with this result.  Looking back at my race, the only mistake I made is that I should had made the 15 sec bridge between  me and a group of 3 riders (position 11 – 12 and 13) at lap 2 and 3 instead of staying alone and lose them later.

 Next race will be in 2 weeks with the epic race ‘’Le Raid du Bras du Nord’’.  It is a 60 miles enduro race in a scenic one loop course.
