Epic Racing around the World

We’re all smoked from a week of racing, so I’ll let the photos tell the stories.

Bart G shredding the single track. Today was the rootiest riding I’ve ever seen. I loved it.

The start today was horrible. Straight up the ski slope on semi-groomed dirt. I have no idea how Hestler drags himself and his two enormous arms up those grades so quickly.

Bridges. The River Runs Through It trail is awesome. Unfortunately the race runs up the trail…rather than down the natural direction of it.

I’d love to come back, fresh, and not without arm pump and fried legs to ride this trail. Awesome bridges and stunts around every corner, the “flat” profile doesn’t do the difficulty of this trail justice.

One of the cooler bridge views.

We probably rode a few miles, cumulatively, of these wooden slat tracks.

Did I mention this one climb we did?

I’ll sum the week up later, now its time to sleep and let the arm pump fade. Sue and Matt held onto their 2nd overall in the Co-Ed category, we arrested our backwards tumble to hold onto 4th on GC.
