Great race. Slick ride from the rains. The trail had a bunch of ups and downs, unfortunately no flats. There were a ton of slick rocks and roots. I look forward to trying the trail out in dry conditions.

It was a fast start, and the first lap was just suffering. Found a rhythm in the second lap. Was able to reel in one rider and hang with him for the finish sprint. Could have gone either way.

Fun course. It was muddy and tough today. It did not help that I was over geared on a single speed.

Had one of those races not very good one for me. my body felt exhausted, and i wasnt riding like my self. Course was good but muddy wish I had mud tires on. I crashed three times and my derailer was not shifiting right in the front so i droped my change 5 times.

Somewhat disappointed in my result today, but I got what I put in. Overall, it was a fun race (if a bit slick) and as always it was great to go out and ride with some cool people.

13 out of 21.
Fun event. Trail was a bit slick. A bit harder than expected but beer was waiting at the finish line as promised.
