An Epic day. Intimidating conditions led to a small field of committed riders. Snow fell during the night before the race, resulting in some very muddy sections over a rolling combination of forest, open fields and slick pavement near Longmont, CO. Temperatures hovering around freezing with overcast for most of the day required an heroic effort from the participants. The greasy mud led to an unusually high number of crashes, placing a premium on consistent bike handling skills. A great day of CX racing!
