The inaugural Bear Mountain Hare Scramble is a new location for the D36 XC series put on by the Polka Dots MC & District 36. We were blessed with perfect weather, perfect dirt and perfect trails. This course kept us guessing with long off camber corners, loose side hills and tight single track we all love. It was a welcome change from the MX tracks and we are back to figuring out how to pass 100 riders that are ahead of you on tight trails. Last time I checked we had roughly 380 riders in the C class race so getting ahead was crucial to your finish position.
Overall I had a good race, the crowds added to the fun of working your way up the field and gutted I couldn't get in one more lap. Thanks to D36/Polka Dots for finding and working with the ranch owners to put on a well executed event!

Good race. I see a lot of course cutting here too. I do my best to get a number and call them out to get them disqualified.

Damn that bottleneck was wild man. My crappy start put me deep into it lol. I witness so many people cutting through and watched our class go by... it pissed me off so much I rode mad the whole race after watching them cut. Anyhow bro... killer job 💪🏼💪🏼

There was a lot of course cutting in that area. It happens. I focus on my own race. You got up there at the start but loads of people lost 5mins+ at that blockage.

@@DirtSteveZA yeah, I was one of them for 5 plus mins lol. When my video uploads I’m gonna time it haha. Yeah, absolutely about running your own race. It just sucks to have to have people cutting... oh well 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 nice placing though buddy. It’s always a pleasure lining up with you 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Ricky, you can estimate how much time you lost on the bottleneck by comparing your first lap time to your last 2 from the results page. That’s what I did.

@@skyrider1111 dont forgot the clock starts when the first row leaves. I was in row 8 so that meant I was 4mins behind the main clock so you need to deduct that from lap 1.

So many slammed those trees before the river crossing. I hit them the day before in the team race but I still prefer trees to MX jumps!

@@DirtSteveZA nice, 10th in your line right? I was looking for the overall to try to figure out if we likely crossed paths since I was 106 overall but i combed through your video pretty well and I don’t think so. Good ride though , bro. 👍

@@DirtSteveZA I think the reason I’m not in yours or Ricky’s video is I only sat in the bottleneck for about a minute and then said “F this” and went down the hill around the bushes and then back up onto the trail which I thought was copasetic but 🤷🏼‍♂️. I actually think it was even more of a cluster by the time I got to it because my class had caught up to yours and continued bunching up. It was nice that an official finally got involved the next lap . I saw him make a guy who didn’t make it wait off to the side until trafffic passed to avoid the same repeated scenario.

Actually I think I just never caught up to you because you finished 9 seconds ahead of me . 👍
