Saturday’s XC race was held in Kickapoo State Park. The technical course, made slick by the remnants of hurricane Gustav, challenged even the most experienced riders. Twisted ankles and broken hands were not uncommon. At the end of the day Michigan prevailed and got some nice results. Notables include a 1,2,3 finish in the Men’s C/D race by Al (annihilating the field), Alex, and Zachariah. Lizzie rode a fantastic race to take 3rd in the women’s race. Nick and Brendan both had solid races finishing 4th and 7th respectively in the Men’s A race.

Sunday was the short track race, a muddy affair. With only 5 riders racing Michigan was still able to put together a solid showing. Notables include a 2,5,7 finish by myself, Mike Kent (his first time racing MTB), and Zachariah. Matt Kramer had a great ride and took 3rd in the Men’s B race.
