A number of participants from last weekend’s Test of Metal mountain biking race in Squamish have posted write-ups..

• NEW! Tall for a Girl - Test of Metal - "The Test of Metal is a classic mountain bike race in BC. A Canadian Epic as they say. And it is."
• Randomly Generated - Race Report: Test of Metal - "The second race in the newly-constructed Squamish Triple Crown race series is the ever-popular Test of Metal, a 67-kilometer race that not only packs over one thousand racers onto the singletrack around Squamish, but is known as Canada’s premiere mountain bike race and attracts Olympic-caliber athletes from across the Great White North. And let me just say that having now experienced it, it is easy to understand why this race sells out within minutes each year."
• Playing Outside (this one’s got lots of pictures) - 3:01:21 Test of Metal Race Report - "3:01:21 - Not quite enough to get it down. Despite a solid race, I don’t think I ever came out of my pedals, I just didn’t have enough jam to finish under 3hrs."
• Gary Robbins - DNF, All The Cool Kids Are Doing It!! - "This will be brief and to the point, even though i would like to tell a somewhat detailed story i am currently having troubles typing."
• Todd Nowack - Test of Metal Race Report - "Yes, I have been sucking on the blog lately. I’ve been super busy at work, am going up to Whitehorse this week, going up to the Queen Charlottes next week, and then heading to BC Bike Race the week after for the best week of mountain biking that I’ll have yet to experience!"

More reports will be added as we become aware of them. If you send us yours we’ll post it here on the site.
