Race story? Hmm.. let's see... I suck at bike racing. How's that for a story?
The weather was excellent btw.. almost too hot. But spectating as always was glorious! Lot's o wipeouts because of many off camber slippery sections, tight turns going uphill and some other nasty stuff.

I took only one spill, so I got that going for me. The sand pit was one of the main attractions. Quite a few racers flying over the handlebars and face first into the sand. That was awesome!

The course was between 6 and 8 min. long, depending on your fitness.

The big hill was not included, I think the park rangers didn't allow because of the grass or some lame excuse.
