Ganaraska Forest, ON
Very pleased to see such a strong presence from the Duke's Cycle Cannondale LapDogs MTB Squad at the Long Sock Classic.
The second race of the Substance Projects, XC Marathon Series treated our Duke's Cycle Cannondale LapDogs to an epic day of racing in the Ganaraska Forest. Known for its flowing single-track, difficult sandy climbs and yes, poison ivy (hence the reason for the Long Socks), this event have become a favourite for many members of the MTB Squad.
Our Team is such a big supporter of this event that we have become "unofficial / official" sponsors of this XC Marathon Series. With some additional support from "our" Team Sponsor Mill Street Brewery, we supplied the entire podium with some very tasty beverages.
The Team had a great day flying the colours and when the dust finally settled, they had put in an impressive collection of results.
