Map to race location, some of you (Spaugh clan) have raced/ridden here, its a nice valley with some super nice oak groves and all kinds of single track. The promoters are well organized and courses are well marked and fun. The entire racing in Mexico experience makes these events a great time. It looks like they have a mixed venue and format for this years series, I will only do the XC/GNCC/HS type events if possible, they also have MX and open course long distance races included in the series.

Ok! I'll give it a try

[REV5 0]

I wonder if they will have a super slow class

[robertaccio 406]

sign Novato and you better podium.

[robertaccio 406]

This one may be more "eastern" style than usual, it looks like rain.....now I feel obligated to swap out my bald rear tire.

[robertaccio 406]

rained the night before rained in the morn before then only sprinkled at the start, perfect conditions, tough course due to various terrain from deep whoops and soft to somewhat extreme rock gardens. Was glad to see REV5 sign and do it along with some other US riders. OA Pro Jordan P2,, 40+ open Cyril P2, 50+ open Reed P1, me P2. MRP has a shot of me up already hung up on a rock dang it!!

PS on the first lap I almost knocked myself out on that branch that Rev5 is ducking under, I never saw it and slammed the top of my helmet on it, saw stars and did not even know what hit me.

That was an awesome course. Yeah there was a couple of those sneaky limbs. The limb after the tight tree section just past the finish area is the one that got me.

Cant wait for the next race on March 21st.
