Dunbar Cycles sent a release that captured the event quite well with some shots from the guys!

 

This past weekend was the 1st round of Canada Cup In Trembant. Andrew Mitchell and Dean Tennant headed over starting off there month like trip of racing. The boys both put together awesome runs, Andrew taking 1st and Dean only one second off of him in 2nd place. Dunbar 1 and 2.

Next stop is the US Open Next weekend in New York. From there the boys head over to Scotland for the 2nd round of the World Cups in Ft. William

Below is a little course walk preview from the boys on Friday

Canada Cup # 1

Course walk with the Dunbar/Devinci/Elka Team

With team mates Andrew Mitchell and Dean Tennant

So as we headed to the course through the village we could see that the snow was still lying around. As we got closer to the infamous rock garden we could see some sort of animal moving about, but we were also missing Dean. Wait a minute... that's Dean so pumped on smashing boulders.

Everyone has always enjoyed racing Tremblant except that you have to go through a river that everyone hates!  So Stupid.

Not this year!image

This course hands down has to have some of the gnarliest sections on any track we raced imagine trying to race across this rock...

Overall the track has had some great improvements and we are looking forward to practice tomorrow!

 

Except for this jump which you have to turn off the race line to hit but was just freshly built for the race.
