WHO CAME TO RACE ?
121 racers from 20 different states such as Colorado , Texas , and Maryland travelled to race SBX . They all came highly motivated to tackle the course and see how far they will make it .
WHAT DID THE COURSE LOOK LIKE ?
During race week , the remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped rain in the area . The wind and sun dried up the top sections but the bottoms where still wet . Bikes churned up the dirt and brought the moisture out which made the off camber sections tricky .
The trails provided plenty of rocks , ravines , boulders and creek beds . Gold and Silver riders got to tackle the hardest sections . After a check point they were sent into Good News ravine . Between very gnarly sections , racers enjoyed flowing single track . But overall there was not much time to recover from the difficult parts ! Past another check they had the Hulk ravine waiting , and if they made it to another split , Alex ’ s hill was the one to conquer . Bronze and Iron class bypassed the most technical sections but still got pushed to their mental and physical limits !
