Saturday's weather was beautiful! The trails were ready, the night was dry, then at 8am it rained, and rained a bit more, and got humid, sun! then rained... The story of the day was keep your hat on as long as possible in these ultra-challenging conditions and all must agree approaching the line with a group of champinons this past Sunday was a once in a lifetime experience. Luckily this year no severe storms flew overhead as the handpicked solo & teams hammered through a day of spent parts, flexed quads, mud in the teeth and a big fat plate of pasta among teams from Western New York, Canada, PA, OH & central New York.
Congratulations class winners and all for coming celebrate endurance mountain bike racing! Here's to the dry years when there was nothing but dust & sun in them there trails! A huge thanks to our terrific volunteers and sponsors every year for making this event possible, the amazing vibe and energy to keep 6HOP on the map!
