Yes that is not one but two DH races back to back. The morning race will be on the newly created DH course from 2003 Provincial Champs which was the last time we hosted a DH here. This course promises to be short and sweet with a winning time of less than 3 minutes. At high noon, the action to crown the ABA Provincial Champ will begin on the 98/99 Canada Cup course. This will be over 4 minutes of sheer downhill rock & roll action. These are without a doubt two of the most technically challenging DH race courses in Alberta. Come out and join the spills and thrills.

Sunday July 3rd.
Double Baseline & Quad Baseline Enduro. Back while the rocks on Baseline Mountain where cooling our MTB Yoda was just a young padawan then and would do this as a fun training ride. Today it is a legendary ride among the local yokels.
Imagine a Lemonds style mass start down 500 meters of steep fire road to get to your trusty steel steed. Only to mount her to spin down a dusty gravel road for some 4 km to arrive at the bottom of the old Baseline Tower Road and climb through steep rocky narrow fire road some 400 meters in elevation in about 5 km to the top. Catching a glimpse of the old abandon look out tower you descend 200 meters back to the valley floor below through steep screech. While in the valley floor you travel through double track quad trails through thick pine to come to the base of what will prove to be the biggest hike a bike as you climb up 300 meters to the new look out tower. Only to catch just a glimpse of the tower as your goal now is to descend to the bottom down 500 meters in 5 km on the old original 1993-1996 Provincial DH & XC courses to join on to the 1998 & 99 Canada Cup XC course and do one 5 km lap of it which contains another 500 meters of climbing during it’s length. That is Double Baseline! For those of you with enough courage and strength you get to do it one more time to complete the Quad! We Double Dare You!
