Pro UCI MTB Race @ Maplelag

Jordan and I had a chance to watch the pro men and women race at the UCI Spring Opener at Maplelag resort today. Because of the schedule and being a new venue the turnout was smaller than normal, but the racing was really good.


Women's Race

The women went out at 11:00 AM to perfect conditions.




Men's Race






BMX Park

As always the kids spent some time at the BMX park and were performing some pretty "sick" moves. The boys from Canada were down again and keep getting bigger and faster. Jordan even got some air on some of the jumps, but didn't get up the nerves to hit the 8 foot gap jump.





Course Pre ride

Later in the day Jordan and I went out for a pre ride and I took her on the lake side drops. I was impressed with her ability to handle the rocks and roots that are strewn all over the trails. She even handled the tough climbs that twist through the woods. Tomorrow should be much easier and Jordan says she is ready for the race. I know she will do really well.
