The annual Stomach Churn cross/mtb race has came upon and left us. There was a great turn out again this year with over 20 riders in each race. Since I've been chained to the computer trying to get something accomplished on my thesis and absolutely no time on my bike I opted to just go shoot some photographs and watch everyone else suffer. I know, lame excuse, but I'm really much better at taking photos than bike racing anyway.
The 30 minute race started around 11am. It was good to see woman in the field as well.
The traditional Stomach Churn puke bucket made it's appearance on top of Cardiac Arrest hill as usual.
Dan from Adventure's Edge made a quick jump on the lead right off the bat, and despite burping his tubeless tire manged to keep his lead with a pretty nice gap at the finish. Don't let those downhillers trick you - they've apparently got some skillz on the cross country terrain as well.
The 60 minute race takes off. Chris Johnson pulled away for for a quick lead...
Until Graves turned on the burners and practically lapped everyone on the field by the time 60 minutes was done with.
Some brave souls actually did ride cross bikes including Jennifer. (Although Jennifer was screaming the whole time wishing she had her mtb.)
Evan took the cross dress competition home with his sexy Daphne ensemble.
While others wanted to take a little something home of their own. The gallery can be seen
here (for now). I'd like to personally give a shout out to Vic for his continuous hard work putting this race together, Adventures Edge for their continuous support, and Revolution Bicycles.
