WOW! Its hard to believe that the Series is already a third of the way through. Memorial Classic is the next event in the line up. One of my favorite courses!! But, this post is about the last race. The Bluff Riders Charge took place in Mankato, MN. It had a great turn out and as usual the course caused carnage. I remember a few years back, taking a trip to Mankato to pre-ride the course. It had rained a few days before and the trail was thick with mud, I was afraid such would be the case for this year but the racers got lucky and had a perfectly tacky trail. Now the only obstacles were the crazy hills and super sketchy rooty downhills lining the prairies. I am still amazed at how well people navigate their way through the terrain. With an ambulance call and some cracked frames overall the day was a success! The pictures dont quite do it justice but enjoy.

Oh and I was quite surprised to see MN Pro Tom Miller out on the course after his honeymoon! Congratulations to Tom and his new Wife Laura Miller on their marriage!

Andy and I are off to Montana for a well needed break! Happy fourth to everyone!












(See that handsome fellow in the Red? In case you dont quite recognize him, thats Andy : )
