| Big Bear Lake 2x12
6/13/2010 | Weather man was right on the money. No rain all week and just a very light sprinkle very late in the race didn't even break the canopy. Course was dry and fast. Even after the OMBC series races and Mohican 100 nothing compares to WV singletrack! This is the funnest stuff on the planet! Todd Bolgrin and I raced the sport open class and finished 3rd. Todd started off with a smoking 1:15 first lap which included the mass start up a gravel road. We were both able to keep our laps right at the 1:15 mark for the rest of the race. Tricep numbing descents with over 1200ft of climbing per lap.
Linda and Samantha also finished 3rd in the womens sport class. Both wanted to do sub 2hr laps which eluded them last year at the 24 hours of big bear. Linda cranked out both laps around the 1:50 mark and Samantha smoked her first lap at 1:37 and ran into a little rain for her last lap.
After tacoing his front wheel last year crashing right at the end of the race Tyler made won the kids race this year.
A great event - free micro brew, great food, and live music made for a fantastic weekend. | Patrick Miranda |
