Frostbike Race - December 8th

This promises to be an awesome race in the heart of the Annapolis Valley. A DH race at the Gorge with hopefully a little bit of snow to make things interesting.

Some of the prizes for this weekends race…


Yee ha! Course is running shockingly fast considering the weather we’ve had recently. Good times here we come!

Getting psyched to have my butt handed to me!

Party time! We moved a bit of rink snow on to the trail in a few spots today to spice things up a bit. It looks like a cool night and tomorrow will stay below zero so the trail should be firm and fast.

Ohh yeah incase you have’t herd there will be a long jump comp after the race. hehehe. I am so amped.

So much fun. Great course, great organization, and great prizes.

The Jump off contest was epic with Ryan saving the best for last with an amazing jump!

I’m hoping this will be a yearly event…

Thanks Mike! I have got to say that was one of the most fun races we’ve put on ! Glad you came and enjoyed your self, and yes there will be another next winter. Michelle and I have already planned out some exciting additions to the event, but you’ll have to wait until next fall to find out what they are. :wink:

P/S: We went back an measured the distance on the long jump. 36ft to the back wheel. I guess 40ft is the goal for next time!
