XC Ottawa has a great day at the 35th Gatineau Loppet, linear classic edition
By:  Team   (2013/02/17)

The first running of the linear classic course from Lac Phillipe to Gatineau was a big success. We'll have more on this later, but everyone loved the route, so "hats off" to organizers.

We'd also like to thank all our sponsors/supporters especially:  John Suuronen and VAUHTI wax, Fresh Air Experience, Gatineau Nordique Sport, Caldwell Sport and E Load.

XC Ottawa enjoyed a great day.
