April 10, 2005. Uxbridge. Yup, we started on snow and ice. I guess that's why they call it The Icebreaker. I haven't been back to this classic since but I mean to. A pretty cool race through the trails of Durham and Glen Major to kick start the Ontario MTB season. I remember seeing my first cyclocross bike at this event and thinking "are these idiots actually riding road bikes?" Now that I think about it, riding CX would work pretty well on this course since it's not too techy and there are some long stretches on the gravel roads. Hmmm. Now that I have my own cross bike...
It was a fun day and even though it was early in the season, the temps got up to around 20C. I imagine most of us were completely overdressed. Hurricane Dean even stormed in for a post race visit.
