Sunday at Barton Park 'the Gravel Pit' was an awesomely sunny day with a nice little nip in the air to remind you that it is autumn. Last year this course made legends out of all those who attempted it...the large mud puddles...steep, downhill off camber section...the whoop-di-dos through the woods...and the two long run ups. The race is commonly referred to as 'Brutal Barton!' This year the Mongers had another impressive showing with over ten riders hitting the rather dry 2 mile track. Porter and Brently showed-up for their first race of the year. Nice work guys!! The first one is always the hardest.
Porter getting ready to pass a Trusty Switchblade rider...he was riding so fast my camera could barely focus.
Glen rolled into the 'gravel pit' after a big night out but he put in a strong performance and I am sure he purified most of his body by the finish line. These guys were also joined by Jamie, best Monger Beg. finish. Good job! And Jim but unfortunately he got a flat on some of the rocks that littered the course.
Ryan, Sean and I fought it out with 140+ guys in the Master Cs and Sean came in with a very impressive 17th place finish, best of the day for the Mongers. Well done Sean!!! With the sun out and nice weather above the smiles shined through a dust free Camp BMCC!!
It was so nice that I need a Sombrero to keep the sun off my bald head...the skull caps were too hot but the leftover Halloween prop was a perfect portable shade.
No Lady-Mongers today, boooowhooo :( but Andrew and Jer were both in the Singlespeed race which had a good sized field.
Many of the BMCCers moved to the further reaches of the course to help support our afternoon riders during the growl run-ups. We named ourselves, " da Mongers in the Woods!!!"
Nick 'this course is so fast I am going to wag my tongue' Wagner held his own in the Bs. He was caught wagging his tongue and hamming it up for the cameras while fending off four guys on lap 5.
In the words of Ali G all BmCC riders and supporters get, "Mad respect!!!" for coming out and enjoying the nice weather and great races. I will be sending an email this week that will preview the final three races, provide you info. about ordering caps, info. about Thriller CX in Bellingham on Dec. 17th and the possibility of another sweatshirt order
. Have a great week!!!!
