ViaStrada Team Crushes Own Expectations at 6-Hour Blast!

In an unforgettable day of grit, laughter, and teamwork, the ViaStrada team tackled the 6-Hour Blast Mountain Bike Race at McLeans Forest, with impressive results! Luck was on our side as we set off under clear skies with no wind, but by midday, the breeze had turned into strong gusts, making the challenge even more intense. Yet, that didn’t stop our team from persevering and smashing through our own expectations with style.

Luca, our MVP, brought both energy and humour to the event. She started her first lap a bit apprehensive, but after making it through with the team’s support, she came back grinning, eager for another lap. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, she shaved an impressive 4 minutes off her lap time, returning even more fired up for the next go-round. Luca, Megan, Pim, Glen and David shared the workload putting in our best efforts, pushing ourselves further than we thought possible.

After multiple rounds of the 11km loop, we surprised ourselves by not only hitting 12 laps but sneaking it in just before the 6-hour cutoff.

Here’s to a fun day and looking forward to the next big ride with the ViaStrada team!
