We sent 9 riders to the event including myself. Six of us riding solo. I was on a gears for this race. Course is ALL single track with 1600 feet of climbing. The course was fast and fun with some good technical sections and fast fast sections and the climbing and scenery were just enough to keep you entertained. I had a rough start flatting on the first lap (stans doesnt work too well below 32 degrees-25 degrees at start) sending me to dead last in the solo category. I would recover to 30th by mid-day and when all said and done with 8 laps completed I would finish 14th. The rest of the squad did much better. Brian Bennett riding incredibly strong won with 10 laps. Chris Crosby would roll in strong with 9 laps and a 4th place finish. We had two single speeders, Andrew Genco rode 8 laps finishing in 5th place and Jeff dunn finished 13th with 6 laps. We had one duo team of Chris Gardner and Janet Kerby who rode strong but had some mechanical problems finishing 4th. our other first time racer and solo woman rider Kristi finished in 4th place with 4 laps. All in all the race was fabulous and we kicked ass.
