Congrats to the SVCS DH team!

CCCX#4

Just wanted to say good job and thank you to all the riders and people who supported the Scotts Valley Cycle Sport DH team over the weekend. We were all out there at the fourth CCCX DH race this weekend. The course was fun with a super fast no brake section in the beginning that had some long corners with little to no traction. Then the course went on to a fun section filled with tight sandy corners and some good off camber. The key to those corners I found was slower entry made for a clean speedy exit. Once you got to the end of that section it was a half mile sprint to the finish, not mention a good climb in there to test you endurance. Personally not a fan of the climb, but hey at least there is local series for us all to enjoy. Congrats go to all the riders:

NMBS #1

So it has been a couple days since I have come home. I can finally breathe normal. I tend to take where we live for granite. After spending 4 days in Fontana (So Cal) in the smog and dust my lungs had had enough. Sprinting down there on the DH course and 4x course was torchure. Now I don't want you to think it was all bad. The course were a lot of fun and the DH cours had some good rock sections to it. There were a few people down there in Cycle Sport jerseys and it was good to see them.
