What an awesome race! Props to Pedalhead for creating a fantastic racecourse and great race atmosphere. The course was a bit lacking in hills (for a ski area) but it made up for it with sharply undulating terrain and tight and twisty singletrack... Wicked!!! They also did a great job of rewarding the novice and sport categories with great prizes including a top notch cruiser bike. Good work guys.
As for me, 3 of 4 laps were great. Evan Sherman was in first, Marc Bomhof was second (nice to see him racing again) and I was riding in third. I made a novice mistake and didn't eat any gels or calories of substance. By the beginning of the third lap I hit the wall and started going backwards. In fact, about 3/4 of a kilometre from the finish line I considered DNF'ing which is ridiculous (of course!). So I followed the smell of the BBQ to the finish line where I was the last of the finishers. CRAP! Oh well. I won't make that mistake again any time soon.
Cheers everyone.

I never did figure out what part of that course was on a "ski area"... were we actually on it or just near it?
