Last weekend, Eve decided to participate in her first FMSQ endurocross race ( Harescamble ) in years. Last time was in Ormstown on her supermini at 11 years old.

    The forecast for the week were for rain up until Thursday and sunny on the weekend. As usual they were wrong and it rained up until Saturday afternoon in Victoriaville and the Saturday quad race was a mud fest.
The track worker did some great work Saturday night and Sunday morning and we ended up having some pretty decent condition for the 1.5 hour morning race. Eve had never race her big bike in the trails or outside any closed course motocross track so we didn't how she would handle it in the woods.

The start went perfectly; she grabbed the holeshot and pulled away from the pack pretty quickly on the slippery grass start section (Thanks to those new Dunlop tires). After the first coupled of turns; she had a 15 second lead on 2nd place rider. Laps were around 15 minutes around. She came back from the first lap with a 40 second lead and maintained that lead at a steady pace for 2 laps.

    On lap 3 she made a couple of mistakes in the wood section and it was the lap we had schedule for a gas stop. We did a quick gas stop only to see the 2nd place rider go by as we got Eve back on the track. It was just enough to pump her adrenaline up a bit and she went after her raging through the grass track and wood section.

She came back from the wood section with close to 2 minute lead over 2nd place again. She then kept the same steady pace for the last half an hour and crossed the checkered flag in first place. It was her first time ever she had to race for 1 hour and 40 minutes and she was exhausted and slept all the way back home after the race.

Eve would like to thank all of the people who made this possible:
