BuDu XC Race #4 King County Soaring Eagle Trails


Although the weather up until race time looked threatening, the end of the day saw blue skies for the final Cat 2 races.  Trails were still muddy from the recent rains but overall much more passable that the last race at Port Gamble.  From my perspective it was just muddy enough to provide a good challenge while not being a complete slog-fest.  At least that's how it felt by the time Cat 2 races rolled around - the Cat 3 and Cat 1 races probably plowed the mud out of the way for us!

Thanks once again to all of our sponsors including Chainbrew, Wildwater River Guides, Wolf Tooth Components, Center Cycle, Pearson Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, Schwalbe Tires, Bicycle Centre, Crank Brothers, CrapPhotos, Fanatik Bike Company, Lezyne, Mazama, and Boundary Bay Brewing Company.
