Descents like this one. Climbs like this one. A radical XXC course. Something like 7500 feet of climbing in 32 miles, with downhills that looked like rockslides. That course eats bikes and people.
Michele Co took 2nd place in the womens' XXC; and with her first place at Dragon's Back and her 2nd place at Middle Mountain Mamma, that's the XXC series win. Good looking out, M-Co.
Otherwise, I took 7th in the men's XXC. Jason finished a short way back from me. Nolan came up with the 3rd place spot in Clydesdale XC, but our perennial contender in Women's Sport, Christy Tankersly, crashed out and took a DNF in the women's XC.
Anyway, lining up in the new kit was awesome. 
Those shorts are super plush, and all the graphics came out stellar. A little shout-out to Ergon on my left arm, very nice to have on such a long tough race.
Lots of bruises and nicked up bikes from this one. Time to heal up and get the gear ready for the upcoming Urban Assault in Richmond. Oh yeah, between now and then, a little road riding in the MS-150 over the weekend. Semi slicks, anyone?

Wow that's a sexy looking Dos niner in the rocks there. Glad to see you guys doing well on the course. A girl from your team dropped me on a rocky climb and I made it a point to catch her on the descent but NEVER saw her again until the finish line. I have to ask who was this masked woman racing XXC?
