well, its over, what a blast, much better racing in a bigger team, we had 6 riders as we were in the "fun" category, anyways we finished 7th out of 14 teams overall and won the fun catergpry by 4 laps.

nice singletrack loop, gradual climbing, so it was easy on the legs, 7.3km per lap (we did 60 in total)

the rain managed too stay away except for about 15mins at 10pm, when there was a major downpour......

the guy who won the solo cat. did 41 laps !!!! (on a hardtail) Crazy.

OMG - that is a really short lap! Did you get dizzy? Most of the ones here in the US are from 10-17 mile laps.


Way to go!
