It was a rainy, wet and muddy day for Mountain Bike O-Cup #3 at Sir Sam’s in Haliburton, ON. Not even an epic rainstorm which delayed the race start by two hours, could slow down the speed, or spirits Team NCCH which saw 6 Athletes make the Podium. Logan B. and Liam C. kicked the day off taking the silver and bronze in the D Grade Boys race. In the D Grade girls race Addison M. took home NCCH’s solo Gold Medal. The C Grade boys race fielded 24 Athletes with 7 from Team NCCH. Ben G. landed on the podium in 2nd with Jacob K. 4th, Julian M. 10th, Greg M. 11th, Bailey M. 14th, Nolan W. 19th and David S. 20th. Jaxson V. moved up from C Grade to B Grade and continued his great season taking 3rd, with Chayse R. 9th, Sam M. 12th and Kyle M. 14th. Matthew P. moved up from B to Grade A and placed 15th.
It has been amazing to watch our Athletes improve from race to race. In the Master A Sport Men race Alex S. battled mud and rain to take 11th, Coach Amy captured the Silver medal in the Master A Expert Women race. In the Cadet Expert Boys race River W. was 5th and Antoine B. was 7th. There wasn’t a single Athlete, Coach, Parent or bike from NCCH that wasn’t covered in mud at the end of their race. Thanks to the organizers from Sir Sam’s who had a cleaning station set up to clean off all the bikes and the event staff to despite terrible weather were able to keep the event running. Thanks to all the Coaches and Parents that braved the elements to support our Team on the course, in the feed zone and helped other teams that needed an extra hand during the event. The terrible weather showed the strength of the cycling community at this event and how different teams came together and supported each other. At the end of the day despite the mud and rain all our riders crossed the finish line and had a great time at the event. Congratulations everyone!
