This past weekend, psychology was invited back into the mountain bike world after a lengthy hiatus from the bike industry. This time I was there as a "spectator" and not actually racing. (That career didn't blossom too well, but I did learn a lot and got to ride in a bunch of cool places across Canada)
Red Bull's inaugural Monte/Descend race took place at Tremblant this past weekend, during the Canada Cup Mountain Bike races. The event, which consisted of 22 teams of 1 downhill rider & 1 X-Country athlete, was a 2 hour marathon race, with the winner(s) being the team that was able to pull of the most laps in the 2 hour time frame.
Now add the fact that the race took place from 8-10 pm as rider had to adjust to the lack of light as night fell in Northern Quebec.
Spectators were not only treated to the race, but psychology was on hand to provide beats for the crowd & racers. Once the race was over, Red Bull took over Café D'Époque in the Village of Tremblant for their after party. psychology once again provided the beats for another crazy Red Bull event which had bodies dancing and drinks flowing all night long.
Thanks to Tremblant, Red Bull & Café D'Époque for a great weekend back in the MTB scene
