Crank the Shield Update

Yesterday I (Nick) went up to the Haliburton Forest and rode with Sean of Chico Racing and Oliver. We rode the Crank the Shield trail that everyone is going to ride. It just rained the night before so the rocks and roots where all slippery, so you had to pick you lines carefully. We marked out a trail that you will have to go and ride down, it will be a fun spot.
So we all rode around a total of 25-30 km. Crank the Shield will be a fun and very tough event and I can't wait for it.
My crowd funding for the Crank the Shield is coming to an end soon. You can check it out here and pass the link to your friends.  http://www.indiegogo.com/nickemsley

The next race is on the 25th and it is a 4hr marathon at Sir Sam's, and it going to be a fun one.

O-Cup #6

The course was fun and technical but also fast. Four of the five Haliburton boys raced. We all had great races. One of us getting a podium in 2nd. Course was pretty dry with a few wet spots but nothing big. One of the only wet spots cought Owen by suprise and through him over the handel bars in the last single track of his race. He was ok and finished the race in a great position.  Nick also fell and came out safe. They both came out with some scraps but laughed them off. All was well, way to go boys.

O-cup course is awesome!

I (Nick) went and pre-rode the O-cup race at Buckwallow yesterday and it was awesome. The course was fast and should make for a great race on Sunday. I cant wait for the race, I am sure everyone from Haliburton will have a good time.
