The weekend is completed with a SuperD race following the
Adidas Eyewear Chainless DH and
Specialized Euro Enduro.
The route will be another North Shore classic ride (TNT - Upper Dales -.Severed - Cardiac Bypass to Sticks and Stones - Blair Rifle Range.) It started with a freakishly cold 8 degrees light mist in the morning and ended in the Blair Rifle Range in the sun. Roots, rocks and rolls were incredibly greasy. Racers were surprised though at the fantastic work done by the
NSMBA's TAP program on TNT and Dales (among other trails)
Super D results are

The newly crowned Ripper King is

Got a great Race Face customer service story. Dorothy won a RaceFace handlebar but loves her pink accessories on her bike. Rob Bohncke, ever the customer service king, swaps her prize for a beautiful pink Race Face Turbine handlebar.
As the sun came out so did the people.
