However after 6 years and some success, it was time for something new, and the revived KSR was just the thing. I knew the organizer put on great races, I love the area, and the profile of the weekend’s races certainly suited me. Better yet, I’d convinced my best riding buds, Paul Chedore from our team, and Cary Moretti from Project Freeride in Toronto, to join in on the fun.
Stage 1 was a 90 km road race that was three 30km loops. Each loop was essentially a triangle, one length climbing and 2 descending. The climb was long, but it was big ring all the way, maxing out at maybe 4%.
