Part 2 is going to follow through a little photo montage of the weekend. There are huge chunks missing since I wasn't taking a ton of pictures while racing (duh), but let me share a few things:
First, the pre-ride. This time I DID have my phone with me to snap a couple of shots of the course. Much of it looked just like this. There were a few miles of sandy fire roads, and a TON of singletrack.
My wife was kind enough to grab a couple shots of Kenda course tape. What we do without pictures of course tape!?
We missed some shots of the mass-start, which I can't help but to assume was fun to watch. 400 or so people buzzing down the road on knobbies at 25+ mph had to be kind of neat.
Luckily there were a few shots snapped coming in after lap 1. Think it was a but dry and dusty out there?
Here's Rob coming in after lap 2. Still in good spirits, it's all about getting out for lap 3.
Barry Wicks is a nice dude, but when someone is able to win a 100 mile MTB race in under 6:30 and have a smile on their face at the end I just want to punch them.
And then there's me, rumbling through the finish at 8:27. Exhausted, but I had a great time up there. I'll be back again.
