Race Report MTB O-Cup #1 Mansfield

Team905 p/b Steelmark Business Services Jon Toews battle with top Master Expert (30-39) at the Ontario Cup MTB Series opener this past weekend. Here is Jon's race report.

Leading up to the 1st O-Cup of 2012 I was nervous, not because of my fitness but because the 1st race is a dictator for the season and how my competition is racing. I felt confident at the start line with some of the best expert riders in Ontario. I new my technical skills were there and I knew what I had to do. The race started and I felt very comfortable throughout the 1st lap. Our group quickly caught some of the younger expert riders and that's when I got bogged down and went from 3rd to 8th. I held that position for 3 Laps and battled for 8th and on the final climb was passed and finished 9th.

I am very happy with my results based on the fact that a year ago I was looking at hanging the bike up because if an injury, but I started training properly and this was the result.

Jon at the Start Line!
