Rounds 1 & 2 Canadian Enduro Championships - Kamloops BC

Posted by victoria on Thursday, July 14, 2011,

July 9th and 10th brought on the British Columbia round of the Canadian Enduro Championships.  Held at Sun Peaks Resort in Kamloops BC, the race slowly came together as Saturday came along.  Unfortunately for me, I was working out of town but thanks to an understanding boss, was able to get flown to Kamloops instead of home for Friday night.  Much to my surprise a bouquet of beautiful flowers awaited me at the airport and I settled into the front seat of my truck Bugsie for a much needed nap ...

The Monkey Wrench

Posted by victoria on Thursday, July 14, 2011,

July 2nd the racing community packed up and headed for the hills above Lytton BC.  One of Canada’s longest running races “The Monkey Wrench” Cross Country in Lytton never disappoints, and it was great to be back there after having to miss out the past couple years due to conflicting dates with the Canadian Enduro Championship rounds.  The race was extremely dusty as usual, not surprising seems how Lytton is Canada’s official hot spot.  Getting the holeshot off the start line was going...

Piston Run

Posted by victoria on Thursday, July 14, 2011,

June 19th the historic Piston Run Cross Country in Chilliwack BC was back again.  My Dad has been racing the Piston Run since me and my brother’s were born, so I’ve been attending the Piston Run for a very long time.  When I started racing at the age of 12 I competed in the Piston Run, and almost every year since I've been back.  In 2005 I missed the Piston run for the very first time because I was stuck in Regina for schooling.  I vowed to never miss it again after that, and thanks to my...

1st Place Intermediate!

Posted by victoria on Thursday, July 14, 2011,

June 12th saw yet another epic OHSS series race come along.  The Full Throttle Hare Scrambles was hosted in Vernon and the Vernon Off-Road Motorcycle Club did an awesome job of setting up an amazing course.  The race went well and with a good start me and L.R.F.C. headed out for 3+ hours.  The course had some challenging up hills and down hills that seemed to go on forever!!!! It was probably one of the best race courses I’ve ever ridden and it was obvious that the race organizers had put a...

Bye Bye Top End!

Posted by victoria on Thursday, July 14, 2011,

The Okanagan Hare Scrambles (OHSS) series hosted a race in Kamloops June 5th which I decided to enter.  The Kamloops course was a mixture of faster easier trails combined with some very challenging rock faces on the “A” course.  If you could vaporize the mud, water, moss, and dozens of panicking desperate riders that littered the faces of the rock ledge trails, they probably would have been fairly ride-able.  This however wasn’t the case.  As racers got desperate bikes started appearing...

May Long Weekend Race

Posted by victoria on Thursday, July 14, 2011,

Apologies for the lack of updates lately, race season is in full swing and life is hectic!  Going all the way back to the May long weekend the well known “Squealin’ Pig Hare Scrambles” race went off without a hitch.  Just as the sun was setting Saturday night, I lined up on L.R.F.C with my borrowed head lamp on the intermediate line for the start of what I was expecting to be a long and tiring night race!  The start and majority of the first lap went smooth and uneventful, up until ab...
