As team leader, Andre, or Sir, as he likes to be called, can incite fear, and also nervousness, with only a simple glance. 2002 - 03 - 04 -05

 |
As a man of the bush, as he likes to describe himself, David is an obvious choice for team navigator. His skills with a compass are only surpassed by his belief in his skills with a compass. 2002 - 03 - 04 - 05

What can I say about Manon, other than she is possibly the craziest person we have ever met. From her questionable choice in automotive design to her utter distain towards the brakes on her bike she never failed to keep us smiling. By the way, we should have told her it was unnecessary to train so much to be on our team. 2003 - 04 - 05 |
 |
Keith possessed all the qualities necessary to be an excellent Max Payne teammate, eagerness to race! What else would explain an otherwise intelligent person signing up for this abuse with only two weeks to get ready. And since that first race he has returned to race again this year, boy he must be eager. 2003 - 04 |
 |
Sherry showed a willingness to throw caution to the wind and joined our team of intrepid weekend warriors despite considerable reasons to reconsider. And despite this lack of good judgement or perhaps because of it she made an excellent addition to the team. 2005 |
 |
As probably the most experienced person to ever join our team Bill really should have known better. Some people are just suckers for punishment though and if they are also good at navigation they are more then welcome on our team. 2005 |
 |
The fiercely independent Jess proves that good things come in small packages. Also that you can never have enough medical professionals on the team! Along with her eager spirit she brought incredible luck with her helping us to our first ever win in her first ever race. I quickly returned her to the reality of racing with us in the next race. 2005 |
 |
After a few years of near misses Linda decided to join our infamous team for our most ambitious race to date. Proof that constant emails can breakdown even the wisest and strongest of us. Her strength, determination and most of all sense of humour were great assets to the team. No A.S. that I know could do a better job of keeping me on bearing! 2006 |
 |
The man with the cast iron feet was the final piece of the puzzle that made entering our first expedition length race possible. Quite likely the most organized teammate ever Jim came to Timmins on a mission. Unfortunately for him that mission was to donate as much blood as possible to the local flora and fauna. Mission accomplished!
2006 |
 |
Since meeting Andy for the winter SAC it was obvious he was a man determined to be first. First to the beer tent that is! An honest motivation that I truly understand. Another strong teammate with a constant smile through the toughest conditions imaginable. In other words another sucker for punishment, perfect for our team. 2006 |
 |
Chris is the pace setter for the team and responsible for keeping the groups spirits high even in the most adverse conditions. Unfortunately, he has a bad habit of stopping to smell the pretty flowers along the route. Due to this or perhaps it had something to do with hanging upside down 400 feet in the air, he has since joined the ranks of our support crew. 2002 |
 |
Nathalie, unfortunately, was duped into believing that team Max Payne would provide her the opportunity to compete competitively. We would like to apologize to her from the outset. 2002
|
 |
Scott was also a rookie racer and we have his friend Jeremy to thank for sending him to our team. I am not sure if Scott has forgiven him yet but I am sure we were not quite able to destroy a lifelong friendship in only one weekend? 2003 |
 |
As the name may suggest, Dennis is the older brother of our team captain. He has made it a life-long habit of getting his younger brother out of trouble and will be, once again, at his brothers side to pick up the pieces. 2002 - 03 - 04 - 05 |
 |
David had no idea what he was getting himself into... "come on"... they said... "it'll be fun... we'll go for a drive and see the countryside... ". We would also like to apologize to David. 2002 - 04 - 05 |
 |
As you can tell from this picture, Chris has aged significantly since his first adventure race with Max Payne. During those early years, he was filled with a youthful vibrance that could only be matched by his love for nature and the outdoors. But alas, that was 2002. 2003 - 04 - 05 |
 |
Pam generously volunteered to join her husband as a proud member of Max Payne's support crew. Max Payne team members were encouraged by this, trusting that she would also help to be a calming influence on her sometimes colourful husband. 2003 |
 |
Robert, the eldest brother to both Andre and Dennis, took time out of his busy schedule to lend his expertise to the team. Despite several hours of intense prodding, however, he finally convinced team members that speeding regulations couldn't be applied to other teams. Note the picture. Robert thought he should show Max Payne what a medal looks like. 2003 |
