This race started off rough, bike didn't fire at start or I mucked it up. First lap didn't go well, jammed my thumb, had someone stuck on a hill climb in front of me, felt like I was back to 10th at some point. Second lap came alive for me, had a very close call with losing my bike down exposure but saved it, lost a couple spots there but eventually moved up into fifth at the finish. The rain made this course super slick, last hill climb was challenging total gong show there.
Great overall race, another top shelf job by the PNWMA, NVDRA and local volunteers!
Nice hole shot ‪@coastalenduro‬ $100 prize

Nice riding. Looked like the conditions were pretty slick. At least very little dust.

We were hoping for rain, just not that much, second lap was slick for sure! Thanks for watching!

You had a killer second lap! Impressive pace for those conditions. Out of all the races this year, this one has the most riders off their bike both on and off the course.

@@SingleTrackTherapy I think it was on the last hill climb that I passed, I took the main line. I was so surprised to see that I had passed you and Matt on lap 1 because I never saw you guys.

@@stanbarry nice job dude you nailed it, I didn't even try first lap just saw carnage, got it in second lap though!

That was a very impressive ride. To see how much time I gained doing that hill when you guys had to deal with that "Easy out" but then be caught by that point in the second lap. I had some close calls early in my second lap and I think it just took 5-10% off my general pace. Well done.

It's interesting man, I'll say it again; chain of events in a race is so dynamic and can alter the outcome.

That easyout cost me 5 min at least! Nailed it on the 2nd lap. There was a bunch of our class there all at the same time. Good racing mate!

John, i remember you passing me and saying hi! Nice riding. I nailed it second lap also! Are you going to Monkey Wrench?

@SingleTrackTherapy that's plan. It's been a learning curve so far. First race season. 3 of the 4 races so far I've never ridden those areas. I've got pace, just need to figure out the race craft. I was loving the slippery areas without the rock.

@@John-od7xw Not sure I'll be there, I hope to, have to see how my thumb feels. You learn something every race man, I still got lots to learn, old dogs new tricks. Those slick sections freaked me out, had to keep yelling at myself to go faster.
