Return of the Jedi XC MTB Race

 

I remember the time I raced Return of the Jedi.  It was the first mountain bike race I won in my category, beginners. I camped the night before, was sick as a dog and didn't each much in the morning.  I started out thinking that I was there and was just going to enjoy the ride.  I is a course with a lot of climbing and I was slow at climbing.  The race started and I realized I was feeling better.  I started passing people one by one until finally there was one person in front of me.  He did not have much experience riding mountains and  had not learned to rest on the bike yet.  He would ride hard and then stop and rest.  I slowly over took him and continued on.  I didn't see anyone until the finish.  I always wanted to go back and race. 

Thanks to Bike Kraft, I may not have gotten to race the Jedi again, but we got to photograph the race.  Mother Nature treated to rain down on us, but she was kind and kept the day a the perfect temperature.
