Giver8er

A quick report on last weekend’s MTB enduro – Deadgoat Racing’s Giver8er. Despite concerns about the trail conditions, a healthy turnout of racers was milling about Canada Olympic Park, ready to crank out 8 hours of suffering. Apparently the trail workers put in a long day because the course was mostly enjoyable, though it did claim a few rear derailleurs. After 2 hours, the course was mostly rideable and in the afternoon the sun peeked out for a bit.

Not many riders from Edmonton made it out for this race, so many podium spots were contested between Deadgoats and Cyclemeisters. Gabor continued his enduro winning streak by snatching up the #1 spot in the solo singlespeed category. David Gonda and his Team Yukon partner took the win in men’s pairs, and Luke and Katy won Two Person Mixed.  Leanne and Bogi earned second place in the Two Person Women category.

Nice work! Who wants to team up for the Organ Grinder?
