There are dozens of Victoria Parks in the world according to Wikipedia, but I just so happened to be at the one in Truro, Nova Scotia last weekend.Steve and I thought Victoria Park might be a nice place to explore, and to take some photos of a race called Victoria's Secret Cross Country Mountain Bike Race.
Also, it just so happened that our Ultimate Frisbee friend, Peter Craig, was in the race, and Steve got some great shots of him.
I’ve featured one shot of Peter in a very big puddle at the bottom of a steep technical downhill, and one of him on a gruelling climb about to pass!Victoria Park is only about a 45-minute drive from Halifax Metro, and it really turned out to be a great day trip.

Nice pics of the event. I can relate to the mud - My first mountain bike race at Gaelic College, St. Ann's was full of it and there were times it seems like our rims were buried. Lucky the college allowed us to wash off our bikes and we were able to change our clothes.

PS. I enjoy reading your posts.
Great shots indeed... and yes, Queen Victoria has made her mark on the land, hasn't she?
Tom and Mike, thanks so much for your comments. It's so nice to hear from you guys.
