Team Passion Trail is heading out for 7 days of epic endurance racing through the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

According to the TransRockies website,
“The TransRockies Challenge has quickly earned the reputation as being the toughest and most rugged of the epic endurance mountain bike races. Hundreds of competitors from all over the World—Olympians to amateursâ€”come every year to spend seven days deep in the Canadian Rockies taking on the trails, the elements and themselves. It is truly the Challenge of a Lifetime.

The two-person team format, though driven by the added safety element in the backcountry, adds an element of camaraderie and bonding not seen in solo races. When combined with the remoteness of the surroundings and the moving athlete village it means that that riders, staff and volunteers spend a full week immersed in a tight, multi-national community. During the week, they face challenges together, forging friendships and memories which will last a lifetime.

Though the race is held in early August- the height of Canadian summer-competitors face everything aspect of high mountain weather from heat in the 100s to snow, hail and driving rain.

We are really excited about the team’s prospects for great adventure and speedy finishes. We will try to post updates on the race as we get them.

You can check Mike and John’s results on cyclingnews.com. There are some pictures and daily results. I think they’re doing well. They’re holding their own and so far moving up on the GC everyday.
