The heavy snowfall in the Charlevoix region this winter has forced the organizer to reschedule the first national mountain bike event of the 2008 season (from May 11th). The race will now occur on June 8.

"More then 400 cm of snow still covers the course and it was becoming too difficult to guarantee a quality race in mid-May" said Martin Simard, head of the organizing committee.

The national mountain bike season will now start in Bromont, on May 17-18 with the first Canada Cup event.

All reservations booked in advance linked to the event will be honoured. The hostellers will communicate with people who have already booked.
