Thanks to all the people in the Echo community who helped put on the most unique XC race on the OBRA calendar. Unique because at present it is the only one raced out in the sage and scrub brush where you can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. The promoters, sponsors, people in town, trail builders and officials made for a great day. I heard no negative comments between riders out on the course, only the usual “got all you need; are you alright; good job” sentences we always hear at XC races. What a great group of people!
I hope people doing the poker ride today are having as much fun..........with less wind.........as we did yesterday.
Each year at Echo has been different with the middle two being the most moderate.........First wet and cold..........this one pretty warm and windy. Hey! What would it be like to race over there in say..................late July? Ouch!!! If you left a downed rider out there for most of the day he / she would be turned into lycra clad jerky! Thanks again all.
I hurt today, but like the rest of you.....I chose to do this right?
take care out there.
