We're still unpacking & recovering from a hellofa weekend of bike racing. Our man Photo Eddie doesn't sleep so we can all take in the sights of a weekend jam packed with racing, fun & crowning of National Champions. Here's round one, you can take a nap now Eddie, well...after your ride.
The weekend started out cold and wet with snow covering the top half of the mountain, which meant rain gear for the downhillers getting in practice runs.
Gavin Hayes brought it home for the win in the mens 30+ SuperD on his Maverick ML8.
Upcomer Lyons local Sam Powers of Bitterbrush Cycles won the Downhill - Jr Sport Men 15-18 class.Some racers improvised on the fly to get on down to the SuperD finish!
The still clean gang lined up for the camera prior to getting some pre-ride on the xc course.
Can't see the course for the riders. Mountain crossers lining up for their seeding runs.
The mountain cross provided plenty of non-stop excitement and great spectating for everyone that hiked up the hill.
"Old Man" Michael Viggers destroyed the entire JuniorX field on his singlespeed Spot Brand. Yep, I said on his singlespeed...good gravy...get to class...we know you have a test in the morning.
The singlespeed class came out smokin', smokin' from shootin'
Happy for the sweet singletrack of Angel Fire, Jen Gersbach heads downhill.
Big House, Rich Houseman pinned it to win it in the National Championship Mountain Cross race.
A fine day of racing by the team...
...was followed up with a clunker crit in the pit area.
