United Cycle Wins Again
August 13, 2007 (Invermere, BC) - After a late-afternoon windstorm which blew through Invermere on Sunday, that flipped tents and wreaked havoc in the rider village, conditions settled down for the evening and riders were treated to a perfect cool mountain night to rest up for the second day of the TransRockies Challenge.
Leaving Invermere in a rolling closure provided by the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police, riders were launched into race mode after the first three neutralized kms and the attacks came fast and furious as the top teams tested each other to see who had recovered after the first day’s effort. Riders rode uphill for the next 20 kms climbing to the top of Bear Creek, first via logging roads, then on some steep and technical jeep trails. The majority of the last 40km was raced on singletrack, varying from raw and precarious trails down from Bear Creek into the Kootenay River Valley, finishing on the buffed and perfect trails of Nipika Mountain Resort.
