Hardwood Hills Raid

After many requests the Hardwood Hills MTB RAID has been resurected for Oct. 21, 2001. We have made the event more user friendly this year by allowing both individual riders as well as teams. There will be no critical navigation as the course will be roughly marked, but still expect a physical, technical and somewhat of a route finding challenge. See our website for full details www.hardwoodhills.ca/raid.htm

"We are working hard to ensure that this is the best National Event for Cyclocross ever held in Canada. Our venue is fantastic and it is only 15 minutes from downtown Edmonton. We are optimistic that we will double last year's race attendance of 75 competitors. We are expecting the top Pros in Canada to battle it out for the 2001 National Championship."
