West Virginia NORBA XC: Gears Report

"Y'all Know where we can find Snowshoe Resort?"

"Hell Yeah, up yonder corta mahyel, fork layeft an climb on up, y'all have a gooday, huh!"

The Gears Racing squad found the site of NORBA National Series # 3 in the smokie blue, Alleghenies mountain range, in beutiful West Virginia.Weather was sweet. It was not a repeat of last years wet muddy race, although humid high temps took its toll on a few racers.

This course is a very technical one. A scary (sketchy) start chute leading into a long technical descente, steep and rooty. Once at the bottom you climb back up through a series of steep open climbs ( the back breaking sort) which are broken up with sections of more tight east coast style rooted singletrack. A fun course despite the painful climbs.

The womens cross country was won by Jimena Florit in a dominate fashion. No one could stay with her from lap 1 of 4 , not even World Champ Dunlap who won similarly last week. Our Gears Racing Women were great in the hills today, Special K (Kiara Bisaro) finished 8th followed by Trish Sinclair in 10th.

Poor Trish had a bad crash the day before while pre-riding and had an incredible race considering her banged up body, tuff girl!

The Pro Men started when the women finished and the start was a hectic one. Lots of traffic problems in the first 10 minutes. I let my teammate Mat Toulouse pass by 3 times but he kept hitting red lights. Too bad because he had the legs today and ended up in 12th, Give this man a front row start! Ricky Federau is still flying and steadily rode his way to 17th (we think, results coming). I started conservativly and charge at the end to finish in the top 25 (results a comin).

At the front, Roland kept his winning streak going, followed by Kiwi -Kashi Leuchs and U.S strong man J.H.K. Canucks Ryder and Shamoe were 4th and 5th.Short Track tommorrow.

Y'all come back now!
