The asphalt sections were mainly near the pro pit area, and riders seemed to be able to manage going fast even when coated in slick mud while their tires were full of grip on the pavement!
Pit stops were happening everywhere you looked as goggles, gloves and gas were needed
Ballance had moved into the number 2 spot on lap 3, a testement to how hard core he is. Broken ribs arent any fun, and i cant imagine how he raced that hard for two hours!
Jarrod McClure had worked his way to teh front, and was now holding the #3 position!
Senior A 40+ rider Dave Simmons gets pitted as he was on his way to another class victory!
Keeping track of everything feel to the scoring system, and time was of the utmost importance. Tyler Lenig at one point was within striking distance of the podium! Lenig won the XC2 class and finished 7th overall, a spectacular performance!
Reports were coming in that in the bottoms, the course was breaking down bad. Mudholes with no bottoms , rocks and steep slick hillclimbs were claiming many riders.
Four 14 mile laps would set the stage for several racers downfall as a good position could be lost with the slightest mistake.
