Suzie Q at the Cord

Posted by Suzanne Howie

This past weekend I was at the 59^th running of the Corduroy Enduro, in Gooderham, Ontario. It bills itself as the toughest race in Canada, and while that might be up for debate (those hurtin’ Albertans know how to make ‘em rough too!) it is certainly in serious contention for the title. It’s especially difficult when you get the kind of rain we had during the week and right through to the weekend. Rocks that are normally grippy when dry become greasy and slippery with mud.

Wrapping it Up

Posted by Suzanne Howie

So, I’m sorry first off that it has taken me this long to get this posted. Layne, this apology is for you! I told you Sunday at the Codrington round of the OO XCs that I’d put a post up for you, about the awesome way you stopped to help a Mini Junior rider (Devyn Marshall, one of the youngest riders on the course) who was having problems on a particularly rough section of trail. It was the last cross country of the year, and I missed accepting my award and giving my speech because I was out on the trails taking pictures.

Chronicles from the Six Days

Posted by Jeff Morgan

Tales from Derek Rockel and the ISDE

Well, the pits opened today and things started to ramp up for the first day of the International 6 Day Enduro for Team Canada. But, before getting into today, I wanted to reflect on the events from yesterday.

Almeda Rive and I flew into Hamburg to pick up the bikes at the port. Once the bikes were picked up, we went to customs to get the bikes cleared to enter the country, while doing that the German customs agent asked if we were here to race, I responded, “Yes, we are here representing Team Canada.” To which he responded, “Well is there a Team Germany?” I responded, “Yes there is.” He stamped our documents and said, “all the best in finishing second.”
