Knobby Time Finals

Let me start off by giving a huge congratulations to Steve Sealy, who had never raced a mountain bike before this spring.  It's been great having you participate with us in all these rides, your enthusiasm is infectious, and you've improved tremendously!

Take a look at Steve showing us how to take the S-bend in the singletrack, he got through it quicker than any of us:

I'm very proud of the boys this weekend, despite the heat and an extra lap, they hung in and capped a great series.  Jeff fought back from going out a little too hard on the start and finished second in the race, and third in points for the series.

This was a tough course for Sam...heat and endurance.  The winner in his group was riding a 34x30 gear, if that tells you anything.  But he stuck it out...and was rewarded by winning the Open SS overall for the series!

My race...fast for 3 laps, then detonation.  I was 39 seconds out of the lead, then just couldn't suffer anymore.  The last 2 laps were hell, and I just finished, getting passed by the sport riders.  I ended up second in the series overall, and I have to say this was tough, but REALLY fun!
