Results

The 2010 mountain bike provincials were held on Sunday, August 29th with 90 racers lining up at the start. The race was delayed for 30 minutes due to a torrential downpour around 9:00, but the Grand Beach course, with its sandy soil, soaked up all the water and was puddle free by the time the race started. The course was fast, flowing, with a couple of technical sections and non-stop climbing.

Thanks to Parks Manitoba and the staff and conservation officers at Grand Beach for their support and use of the park. (more below)

The course is ready, see you on Sunday!
