Second cross race of the year was a mud fest. My time slot was too early to make the whole family get up at 6am etc, so I was spared... just took photos in the rain. But both girls raced, wife won, kid got second (out of two...). A great day.
Friend and teammate, who LOVES this kind of $hit. She could not be happier. She's 62, and took 2nd at nationals last year, btw... life goals.

This is the "flyover," about 20 feet high, steps up the back. Some of the newer riders (adults and kids) got up there and just couldn't do it, had to walk their bikes down. Mountain biking helps a lot, here... you're used to seeing big drops and you know what to do.

My kid, the day before her 12th birthday. So incredibly proud of her for not just enduring this, but really enjoying herself.
