massanutten hoo haa mountain bike cross country race

this race was more technical and difficult than i thought it would be... the course had a lot of climbing and some of the rock gardens along the ridge of the mountain were challenging to clean however the majority of the course was pretty flowing... it was a hot day (about 90 or so) but thankfully the majority of the climbing was in the shade.

it was a supper stacked field of riders (especially for a local race)... all the guys in the top 5 were very strong riders that i honestly didn't stand a chance of beating...  Jeremiah bishop, nick Waite, a south African wold cup guy, a fast rider from Florida who made the trip up, and Arron Snyder (my team mate)... i was happy with my 7th place finish.
