Mud, Sweat, and Beers

A little late on the race update but anyway, this race was a lot of fun. Me, Melissa and Adam Wheeler choose to do the 20mile race. They started all skill levels at the same time, the three of us lined up together about two rows back from the front. The start gun went off and it was a bit of a free for all, I nearly got pinched by two riders. Once we hit the first climb things began to settle down and thin out. After that it was a lot of rolling terrain with some fast two track down hills as well as some paved road sections through the neighborhood behind Mt. Holiday. This course was hard and fun at the same time, you had to be on the gas the whole time. For those of us that have been racing for a while, Mt Holiday use to be the finish for Iceman as well as the gathering place for the awards. It definitely brought back memories. It was a great day, I finished 12th, Melissa took 4th in her first expert race and Adam took 5th in the single speed expert.
