Kona Midwest Racing

Boyne Mountain Escape and the State Championships

It was an really good weekend and the DH was a ton of fun. I made a couple of mistakes(went off course twice) but felt I raced really well. Amanda did really well in the first race. The 2nd race was a much tougher course and even more fun and rowdy. It had this huge double between two trees that I skipped cause I only got to preride twice. That cost me some time. Amanda stacked it right before the double trying to get to the ride around, but had a good race. Adam Rapheal again killed it in the Mens race taking 1st in both events. Afterwards, they offered a $5 lift at Boyne highlands for a couple hours. So we went over there and rode. They are doing a lot of good work there and the riding is really good. It was a perfect combination of jumps, skinnys, & drops. Boyne Highlands is a place you need to ride.

The XC was so hard. I was exhasted and dehydrated from riding the day before. It was g
ood training though.

I took 11th in DH 1 & 2 and 11th in XC. I guess my lucky number 11 was the place for me.
Amanda took 2nd in both DH 1 & 2 and 4th in the XC. She pinned it at the highlands riding well above what I have seen her ride before! I have pictures of Amanda with all her trophys and Cash.

On another note, the weather is crap today. I did ride in and hit my commute goal of 2000 miles today!! I've rode to work 40 times this year.

Later,
