Well my second race was a tough one. Don't let the name of this race fool you. The Sport class had some wicked inclines that my smallest chain ring was afraid of.

There were plenty of fire road with space to pass for about 3 miles of it. The rest was all single track with rocks bigger than small children. Technical isn't the word for this course.

I had fun with it and would like to kick it in the butt next year. But this year I have to settle for 14th. I had to dismount way too many times. I kept passing the same guys on the flats and inclines only to have them pass me on the single track.

I did hug a tree nicely during the race. Now it is time for crit season. Time to get my sprinting legs bolted on. More MTB in the fall.
