A lot of big names out there too. Looking through the results I noticed a few things: <ul> <li>I missed Emily Batty taking 1st in the Elite Women category... She's my favorite little mtb cutie, so that made me sad ;-)</li> <li>A podium sweep by Hardcore in the Expert category is pretty impressive, that's gotta feel good for them!</li> <li>There was a massive Novice Men turnout – Nice to see</li> <li>A lot of DNFs in the Sport Men (9 out of 30)</li> <li>There was a decent Novice Women turnout, but sadly there were a lot of DNS's. It's nice to see Mtb racing gaining a little more traction with the women, but it would be nice to have a more robust turnout.</li> </ul> I’m sad that I missed it – Looked like a stellar event!!

Looking through the results I noticed a few things:

  • I missed Emily Batty taking 1st in the Elite Women category… She’s my favorite little mtb cutie, so that made me sad ;-)
  • A podium sweep by Hardcore in the Expert category is pretty impressive, that’s gotta feel good for them!
  • There was a massive Novice Men turnout – Nice to see
  • A lot of DNFs in the Sport Men (9 out of 30)
  • There was a decent Novice Women turnout, but sadly there were a lot of DNS’s. It’s nice to see Mtb racing gaining a little more traction with the women, but it would be nice to have a more robust turnout.

There sure would be a lot of better racers to watch than me, but I'll take all the cheering section I can get! :-) Cheers! Hey Paulo!

Hope you are in it next year. mmm ... perhaps if I combine a climbing trip to Banff I could watch you compete as a total exciting package. I'll be working on that. Sounds like it was a perfect event.
