Mountain Bike Cross-Country

Mountain bike racing requires a combination of physical fitness, balance, and sport-specific bike handling skill. Team NB put in a strong performance on the hilly, technically demanding course at Brookvale Park. It featured plenty of rocky, rooty singletrack climbing and descending, a rock garden, and a few grassy doubletrack sections to facilitate riders passing. Top results were Jessica Dahn in 14th and Jean-Richard Cormier in 10th.
