Well the season has ended for this year. We all have had a lot of fun and learned lots as well. I am not sure how many of us will be racing next year. Hopfully we will have more people from Haliburton racing and making everyone proud. Keep Training!

Ontario Championship

The Ontario Championships were great. It had rained the day before and the pre-ride was cancelled but we got to ride the course in the morning. Thankfully the rain had stopped and the sun helped dry the course out, it was a fast race and all of us had a good time. Can't wait for next years O-cup series thanks Chico Racing.

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.

O-Cup #6

Ontario cup #6 is coming up. I (owen) hope all the boys are traning hard cause I know I have got into more intence training. The countdown is on, dont stop training train harder. Keep your overall standing going into the finals dont  at spot make it better.

Sir Sam's Race #3

Today I (Nick) went over to Sir Sam's for their third race of the series. The other four Haliburton Racers didn't show. There were 27 racers in the whole entire field, some new racers were there as well. The race was a really fast one and I crossed the line at 32:57, it was my fastest time yet. There was a guy there riding a single speed and he smashed my record to the hemlock tree up the hill by 13 seconds, The new record is 2:42, he was really fast. The course was good because of the small rain we had this week, but the sun started to loosen up the sand at the end of the race. It was a great race there today.

Not sure if any of us will be able to be at the next race at Sir Sam's because the O-cup in Bracebridge is on the same day. It was to bad that none of the other Haliburton Racers couldn't show up, it would have been a great race for everyone.

4 in the top 10

Well there were 4 of us that got in the top 10. There wasn't as many racers in everyones category, probably because of the distance of the drive. In my category I had 29 racers instead of the usual 35-40. In Owen's category there were 10 racers. Nolan's category there were 17 racers. Their mother (Melanie) had 6 racers.
I finished with a 10th place, Owen 5th, Nolan 8th, and Melanie placed 5th.
It was to bad that Kyle and Trey couldn't make it to the race as the track was great and fun to ride.
It was a long drive and I only had 1 1/2 hrs. of sleep before the race, and I like to sleep!
The next O-cup race is at Buckwallow in another month. At least it isn't as far a drive and we all will be rested and ready.
