• The Course: What a better way to end the season than with a super challenging ride. We think this course will challenge the best of riders. The entire course is within the confines of Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, located in the QuAppelle Valley, 16 mi. north of Moose Jaw Sask. Buffalo Pound holds some of the best mountain bike trails in Saskatchewan. Over the past two years, with the Parks permission, work has been done to create about 17k of new single track. We feel that by combining all of these trails into one 60k track will present one of the best courses east of the Rockies ! Much of the single track is new trail and very challenging, not because of roots and rocks, but because of climbing, narrow treds and tight turns, even the pavement portion is up-hill. For the most part, the race starts out easy and fast, but once the undulations start, it gets harder, and harder, if you are from out of the Province you will be mumbling under your breath “this is Saskatchewan?”. Go out too fast early and you will pay dearly as the race progresses. The course does present 2 hike-a-bikes (for mortals), the balance of the course is all rideable, well, its rideable if your fresh.
