June 16, 2011 (Canmore, AB) – The Iron Maiden XC hosted by the Spin Sisters was stop number three on the Alberta Cup XC mountain bike schedule. It was extremely well attended and was a great warm up for Nationals, using most of the proposed course for the upcoming 2011 National XC Championships. Matt Hadley took top spot in the Elite men’s race while Catherine Vipond took top spot in the women’s Elite. Although the weather was very wet, riders toughed through and made for an all around exciting race.

The Organ Grinder hosted by CMC/Bow Cycle, stop number two on Alberta’s Western National Marathon Series, continued to grow in its second year. Although tired and still muddy from Saturday’s XC race, most riders made it back out for Sunday’s action and were not disappointed. The race setup was simple: riders had 5 hours to do as many laps as possible of a 13km loop. Top spots went to Graham Torrie in men’s solo with 7 laps and Kate Aardal in women’s solo with 6 laps.
