MNSCS #7

Last Sunday was a near perfect day for racing, the temperature at the start was in the low 60's and the sun was shining. Zach started two waves ahead of me and got a good start down a short section before the first long climb to the top of Buck Hill ski area. Two minutes later I was off. There were two guys ahead of me at the start of the climb, but I was able to real them in before the top. At the top most of the rest of the course was some very buff single track. That made for some very fun racing. At the top of the climb on my third lap I turned into the single track a little to fast and found myself looking up at the sky and watching the two guys I had just passed, go riding by. Nothing hurt but my pride and a little dirt rash. I jumped back up to finish 6th overall and 1st in my age class. Zach was tearing it up and finished 2nd overall and 1st in his age class 1:45 ahead of me.
