AMC second go!

 

Bumped up to "expert" as expert and pros get to ride a bit extra.  Didn't think I'd do well, but managed to get 2nd!  Never won a segment, just consistently got 2nd on all of them.  Ha.

Uncle Funkle came up for the weekend, so we had to sign him up for the race.

Andy was doing great until he had a bit of a mechanical that took him out of the running...

 - Cory swept the race winning all 5 stages!  

Ashland Enduro!

Leading up to this race, I was a bit worried as my clavicle wasn't healed 100% yet, but was really excited to ride these trails again.  It hadn't rained for 100+ days so needless to say, the trails were dry.  I dropped down to Sport (was signed up for Expert) and so Metres, John, Andy and I were all riding sport 40-49.  Jack (the young un) was riding Sport 30-39.  John killed it and came up first, Andy 3rd, and I came in 4th.  Results here.  

The week leading up to the race, the FriDaddy crew did a practice ride on Tues.  Jack, John, Andy and I caught the AMA shuttle up and rode the course.  Then Metres came up on Thurs to pre-ride the course on Fri with Alex Do, who came down to meet us from Eugene.  On Sunday, I had to finish up the 100 miles for the virtual Pine to Palm run and logged 24 miles and watched Dr. Adams ride on his way to 3rd place.  Good weekend!

Getting ready at the start of stage 1

Jack had some issues and flatted on stage 1.  He would've won otherwise...

Check out this crew with a husband towing his 7 mo pregnant wife!  Mad respect.

Shasta Enduro - Duff City.

Did my first enduro race with Metres and Andy.  We all signed up as Sport category and that was the right call.  The trails there are insanely dusty... not recommended IMO. But the racing was fun.
