In the world of Mountain Biking, Nicholas Vipond is one of the most important people in North America. For us in the US, it's all too easy to forget about our neighbors to the North. With such good races here in the states, and all the best Canadians coming to us anyway, what good is Canada, right? Well, They don't see it that way up there. Canada is putting on a National race series and taking care of their athletes in a way to rival any nation around the globe. And you need look no further than last weekend to see how their efforts are paying off. Canada's Mt. Saint Anne hosted it's 18th consecutive World Cup which saw the home country take 3rd in the men's race and 1st in the women's. For years Canada has hosted rounds of the World Cup while the States has struggled to get UCI sanctioning at even National Series races. Next year, Canada will play host to five UCI C1s, one HC, and the 2010 MTB World Championships. Maybe we should be paying a little more attention to what's going on up there. Dare I say, even taking notes...
