Blocks Cycle XC8: 8 Hour Enduro Mountain
Bike Race
Hosted by the Offroad Syndicate
Buffalo Pound Provincial
Park, September 8th, 2007
XC8 2007 was a grand success. 83
racers took to the valley from across three provinces, the weather was
excellent (minus 5 minutes of rain) and the racers are overwhelmingly
supportive of the event. We had racers from across Alberta, Saskatchewan,
and Manitoba. People travelled from as far as Canmore, Jasper, Lake
Louise, Winnipeg, and Portage La Prairie to race the XC8. Welcome and
thanks to all. The Alberta Dead Goats cleaned house on the podium in the
solo categories, sparing one 3rd place finish to one of our Manitoba
friends. 2005 Champion Pat Doyle took 1st place Solo Male, and has become
the only athlete to win XC8 two times. Trish Grajczyk took 1st place Solo
Female. Offroad Syndicate's very own "Insidious Again" (Dave and Kris)
took 1st in the Doubles category and "Train in Vain" won the Team
category. The $1,400 Grand Prize 2007 Corsa World Cup Fork was won by Erik
Bakke from Calgary, AB.
The ORS would like to give a giant thank
you to our many volunteers and sponsors.

"Great race and well organized. Thank you very
much for the excellent time and great company. When can I register for

XC8!"
"The course was FANTASTIC. Funnest trail I've ridden all year, it never
got old." -- Erik Bakke, Calgary, AB
"This is not the Saskatchewan that most people get to see ... From the
hilltops, there were spectacular views of the valley ... It was
breathtaking" -- Tori Fahey, Calgary, AB
