Homage du Ice Mtn Bike Race at Dufferin Forest
First mtn bike ride and mtn bike race of the year on the same day so it was no surprise that I was a little rusty off the start, which was downhill ice, snow and mud. I was way too nervous to push on that terrain and skidded out a few times but it was still a lot of fun to be out in the woods on a bike on a fully sanctioned race.
After the shaky start I passed a bunch of riders and 2 girls, and was generally happy with the pace for April.
Dufferin Forest is good to go - the forestry companies don't mind riders in the double track and a lot of the singletrack is bone dry if you stay high like the race director decided to do.
