The 2010 University Cup mountain bike race series was back on the trails this past weekend (September 18/19) at the Mansfield Outdoor Centre in Mansfield Ontario. Student athletes representing 12 universities and colleges from across Ontario were there to represent and start working towards the U-Cup Championship. The first of the four-race series was a two day event which included a criterium, time trial and a cross country race. As always, the atmosphere was fun and relaxed as the races finished and camaraderie amongst the various groups was strong.
