Make no mistake, the Haliburton Highlands is rapidly becoming a first class destination for mountain bikers, weekend warriors and stellar sanctioned mountain bike races.
Last Sunday morning some 290 colorfully clad riders revved up for the final stage of the now famous, infamous and unanimously transcendent Crank the Shield mountain bike race.
Three days of Hell. Heaven. And for some … Limbo.
The racers left Sir Sam’s parking lot at 9:30 am sharp and headed for the top o’ the hill; a challenging dipsy doodle up bunched up an old logging trail; and then down the back side of the front side of the intricate system of trails laid out all over the ski runs at Sir Sam’s Ski and Summer Resort.
