Lauren, Alicia, Sue and I packed into Alicia's Husband's Canadian "Minivan of Wonder" and made the eight hour haul from Danbury, CT to Massanutten Resort in VA.
We raced on the old world cup course which, although wasn't insanely technical, had it's moments with all of the muddy root turn entrances. It was, however insanely fun.
It was here that I began to realize it might be time for a new bike. After an inventory we came up with: Blown rear shock, badly needed a pivot overhaul, dent pullers, pinch bolt that refused to pinch the rear thru-axle... (which lead to my rear wheel falling out after a step down in later rides. It's been an exciting season so far)
The race went well:
And there was much celebration:
In short, I'll be making the trip back to this event again, but hopefully with one of these little beauties next time!
