Does anyone have any information regarding this race on Aug 13/14?
Supposedly it is a 5 stage Enduro race, hosted somewhere in the Greenwood area?
Bicycle Nova Scotia has very little information on it, and the contact number forwards you to CFB Greenwood switchboard.
I also sent them a message on their instagram page regarding a Nova Scotia event.
They replied that there will be an event Aug 13/14 with details to be announced this week sometime. I’ll update anything I find out on this thread.
Hi. I’m the one who manages the Bicycle Nova Scotia website. Just got the heads up that there was some confusion around this. I’m going to pull the event until I get some more info. People upload their events and we don’t always have the details.
If anyone hears anything new, or has a direct contact, please let me know so I can edit the event: abarnett@bicycle.ns.ca
I’m liking the chipped timing. Will have to head up soon for a road trip to check out the area.
Will it be the same trails used in this weekends BNS XC race?
I’d love to, but the Newfoundland trip will be big bucks to travel and stay solo. The ferry is about $400 one way and you still are about a 1.5 hour drive to St John’s
If a contingent from NS made the trip together and camped out for the weekend it could be more manageable for sure.
Cheaper to fly. Return for $300. Just went there and back last weekend. Not sure about the cost for a bike though. Plus driving requires and entire day of travel.
$50-100ish to check the bike as baggage, and you still need to figure out the transportation to event/accommodations. Unless you could just bike there (pack lightly) from the airport, or make use of a shuttle service. Flying would defintely get you closer, much faster than the ferry for less money.
This weekend’s enduro race in Scotsburn (Fitz) has been rescheduled to October. From the organizers…
With the current forest fire risk in Nova Scotia and in keeping our Land owners, Volunteers, and Participants safety in mind we regret to inform you sports fans that we are rescheduling our event in Scotsburn to the 15 - 16 of October 2016. There is currently a travel ban in place for woods travel province wide for all recreational users until the 22nd of August, although some exceptions can be made we feel the risk of complications is not worth it. We hope to see you all at our September 18th race in St. John’s and the new date for Scotsburn (the fall foliage will be worth the trip alone) An email to all currently registered will be coming out shortly explaining your options, thank you for your patients and continued support.
