Moving on to Mont Sainte Anne.

After the race at Bromont we traveled north 3 hours back through Qubec City and onto another ski resort called Mont Sainte Anne. This is where the World Cup race will be held on the 26th of July in a couple of weeks time.

We are using this as a training base for 10 days until we head back to Bromont on the 15th of July.

This is our pickup truck, a pretty big ute! The turning circle is not great and finding parks at the supermarket is pretty challenging!

This is a trail called La Vietnam, It takes 40 minutes of steep climbing to get to the top but the descent is a fantastic reward!

The trails here are challenging! A combination of mud, rocks, steepness and the most challenging are the tree roots, once they get a bit of moisture on then you can sooooo easily lose control and crash!

I decided it was best to walk down this one, it’s too early to go home injured!

They build these structures called ‘Skinnies’ throughout the forest where it gets really wet and muddy, to cross creeks or just to make for really fun riding! This is a very wide ‘skinny’, they do build them a third of this size so it is a real balancing act!

This is my friend Terri showing some style on the skinnies!
