MNSCS #5 Memorial Classic




This Sunday found us at Redwing Mn. For round 5 of the MNSCS race series. It was another very nice day for racing on a very difficult course. Zach and I got to start in the same wave for the first time this year. I got good start and didn't see zach again until about half way through the first lap where he passed me on the first of two long climbs. We both had a good day, I finished fourth in my age class an Zach finished 2nd in his.

MNSCS #4 Bluff Riders Charge

Last Sunday my wife Anita and I headed to Mt. Kato for round 4 of the MNSCS race series. Zach couldn't make it as he was off to wrestling camp for the week. The weather was near perfect again for racing. Because of my consistent finishes in my last three races I was called up to start in the front row of my wave.
The course started with a 100 yard dash to the base of the ski hill and then slalomed up to the top, my kind of start!
There was a very tight and steep section that got a lot of people into trouble, I was lucky enough to keep the rubber side down on every lap. My Vassago Optimus TI certainly helped there!
I ended up finishing 3rd in my age class. The guy who finished 1st was so fast he couldn't even stop for awards.
Thanks again to Dana Schoppe for some great race photos
