What People Are Saying…

“Let me say that on our road trips back home, we usually review & discuss everything that could be improved, tweaked, etc. with the event we attended. With you guys, we couldn’t think of anything! I have worked with a lot of event managers, and let me say you folks are a class act. The hospitality of your staff and people skills are the best I’ve seen – well done!” – Joe Shrader.

“This was my first year as part of a 24 Hours Team. (It won’t be the last). As an avid mountain biker I have seldom experienced a race event that is so well planned and executed. I brought my whole family. They asked if we could come back… ” – Michael Stewart

“When the clock passed noon on Sunday, I didn’t want the ride to stop. I was exhausted, but I had found whatever it was that made me start riding those seven years ago, that “ember” was once again glowing. I owe more than I can ever repay to every single person who has ever cheered for me, encouraged me, supported me, or even just smiled in my direction – you brought me back alive, and refreshed in me “the spirit of mountain biking”. – Tammy Kaufman, Solo Competitor

“Great work again on 24hours Canmore. I raced with “Team MTBR” last year at both Laguna Seca and Idyllwild. This year I raced with the “Dalhousie Fighting Amish”. I loved the movies at midnight and the music this year was absolutely perfect”. – Brad Kane, Team Competitor, Canmore

“I think that with my experiences this past weekend, I can say that your events really do capture the true spirit of community our sport has and brings out the best in those who participate in them. My team finished 6th in the 5 man (100-150) category with 20 laps. It was a great performance for us, all things considered, but it’s way, way down on the list of thing I’ll remember about the race. See you next year.” – Michael O’Connor, Team Competitor

“Whew! What a great but challenging weekend. That weather was something. This was our third event in 4 years. We had such a great time last year that 3 teams from our small community attended this year’s event.” – Bob Stanhope, Team Competitor

“This was my first race and it was a blast. It was also the first race for my two sons, Doug and Greg. The rest of the competitors were a great bunch of people and the staff and volunteers were all extremely supportive, especially the checkpoint staff as they handed up Gatorade and encouragement which kept us going at 3 AM in the fog and rain.” -Randy Profeta, Team Competitor

“I will be returning to the 24 Hrs. of Adrenalin because you do it right, right as in the banquet, the video at the banquet, the “World Solo Championship” plates, the mechanics aprons (the perfect gift for the crew (CREW stands for cranky rider-endless wait)) especially for those who didn’t have time to shop, the pit signs, and last and not in the least – Stuart riding the course backwards encouraging us. That all amounts to doing it right.” – John Mazzola, World Solo Championships Competitor

“Thanks again for hosting a wonderful race. I actually enjoyed the challenge of the weather, although my teammate (Tinker) didn’t seem to do well in the cold. Everyone here is mightily impressed with my 6 laps. I won’t tell them what Chris Eatough did.” – Sal Ruibal, USA Today Writer, Solo Competitor

“Thanks for your approachability and good time at the Canmore Nordic Centre over the weekend, July 20-21. You guys put on a tremendous event.” – Ben Smailes, Reporter, Canmore Leader

“WOW!! My faith in people has been restored! What a blast! My head is still reeling from the weekend-it wasn’t just a race it was a spiritual event!!” – Rick Wessels, Los Expladores Search and Rescue member and competitor
