Did that XC at Whopper with you on Saturday, got up early and drove out to Kepoch Sunday and did some DH runs. They have done alot of work out that way and the trails are in mint shape. Came home and watched the replay on freecaster of the WC. What a race.
Good rides this weekend?

we rode a third of our trail, did 3 hours of maintenace, and rode the third out. the trail was almost bone dry and fast. we did the resized drop without blinking. as usual the trail didn't let us down.

Its for sure a future riding destination for me, not sure if it will be this season though. Basically same distance as MSA or Bromont.

yeah pretty much.
Have you been to MSA and/or bromont? Whats it like there, heading to Montreal for a wedding and taking bikes, only have a day at each hill... easy enough to find your way around?

MSA is the Mecca of real Downhill. ITs as Gnarly as it gets pretty much. Their are easier trails there but they arent what its famous for and they can get boring. Its worth going just to see what the WC Trak is all about at St Anne. And its not the easiest place to find your way around. Actually Tour Duex is a super fun track with a tonne of line options all the way down. I suppose it could be kinda hard to navigate if you were by yourself up there for the first time though. Lots of open fire road stuff and darting in and out of woods.
Ive never been to Bromont, from what I hear its alot safer and alot more groomed with something for everyone.
Expect rain.

Great to see people chatting on here! I've been squeezing a bunch of rides in. This coming Monday, Ryan and I are taking a class from Horton High's 02 program out for a trail ride and some bike history. This is a great day in the making.
Can't wait to check out the work going on at Keppoch. They've been at it pretty hard with the vollys. Awesome to see!
Who's riding later? That's what I wanna know!

chain drop, fight off flipping over bars, shoulder roll across sharp pointy rocks. best time ever. bruises and abrasions won't stop me from going again as long as we have permission. must correct bike from dropping chains first.

it was a good ride. the bruises and abrasions remind me so.
How was everyone's weekend? I got a couple of loops in at Whopper with a couple of different groups. Varying speeds. The trails are drying nicely.
Where'd you go? How was your ride?
Did you watch any WC DH this morning?
