Whitewater Cross

This morning was the cross race in Whitewater. When ever these guys put on a race there is usually something not good or it is a waste of time. Today that could have been easily just what would have happened. When we got there the course looked challenging as heck and it was. They had wicked run and ride ups all over and a long sand pit along the river. But they also had a long mud pit, WTF I was thinking. I talked to the refs and then Jeremey and we asked one of the guys putting on the race why is that in there to just ruin the bikes? The kids did just 1 lap and the bikes were all F'd up. They took it out wisely. The race was a good one and all the racers were in the pain locker from the start. I have to say the Whitewater team did a good job today.

The boys lined up and there was I think 7 at the start this weekend. Thompson and Brandon took off and then Nate and Mitch, Gage and the rest of the field were in pursuit. After 1 lap Thompson pulled out and then Brendon was gone and Nate was in a solid 2nd and Gage in 3rd. Mitch was sick this week and faded. In the end Brendon won with Nate in 2nd and Gage in 3rd and Mitch finished 6th. We then took off after the kids got their stuff as we were cold as heck. Jeremey then called and he passed on the race as he was frozen from watching the kids and he had a race to toss. Now we are going to get ready for some bmx racing tonight and then some more tomorrow maybe or the Russell ride. Just have to see how things go tonight.


Nice long sand pit to through.
