Gears Racing Canada Cup Short Track

The Gears Racing Canada Cup saw some of the best Short Track Racing today. The course started with a quick double track climb to the top of the Dual DH course and ran the riders down the Dual DH to the Finish line. Each lap was approx. 1:30, and riders were visible through most of the course. The racers all kept very close, and excited crowds with tight cornering and a few minor spills.
Mark Batty (3 Rox Racing), took the Junior Men honours, with Wendy Simms (Steed Cycles), and Greg Reain (Gears Racing), taking the Senior titles.
Hardwood Hills also hosted 75 riders participating in the Bike for the Cure Charity ride for the Breast Cancer Foundation raising over $3,000. There were also over 150 Adventure Racers in teams of three completing a grueling Adventure Racing Canada event, consisting of biking, trekking, and paddling across the Lake Country surrounding Hardwood Hills.
