S7 is a wrap and boy we had some close battles this week. While the Men’s KOM was an exact tie in time between two Jeff’s (almost like it was meant to be), the Women’s KOM was only a difference of a singular, scant second between 1st and 2nd place – impressive! Aside from the time battles and big Strava relative efforts throughout the classes, we had over 320 attempts at River Bends overall and good weather for most of the week, all things considered. A couple days were less than ideal in terms of trail conditions, but as we’ve been saying, thank you to the experienced level of riders we have in this series and the appreciation for taking care of the trails, over trying to throw down a fast time when conditions aren’t ideal.
Now onto our final week – S8. We’re heading west yet again but to a new location – the Milford trails. If you haven’t been before, it’s a fun lap of single track full of twists and turns. Look for parking options at the main trailhead lot (by the baseball fields), as well as the nearby YMCA and Milford library. Check out our schedule page for more information on the route and leaderboard.
Also, stay tuned for details on our season ending awards/celebration banquet.
Good luck!
