Spent the day at Snowmass yesterday taking in a NORBA point series race. When the circus is that close to town it is good to go see it! However I will say right off that Snowmass is a pretty lame venue, even for a ski area, for a mtb race.
Anyway there was plenty of action at the start/finish.
The Maverick Maiden was sporting a very she she outfit I thought, subtle sublimation.
Here's Wiensy doing his best as RLX team manager.
Jimena won the race and Shonny came in 2nd with Willow 3rd. Not sure where the Specialized rider came in but my buddy that is working the circuit said she was one to watch....I concur.
There was a kill hill up the area and these ladies were rubbing elbows as they went by!
And there were some guys racing too....Todd Wells 1st and JHK 2nd so the Olympic selection process for the men at least seems to have worked.
It was Travis Browns 42nd Bday (just saw on VN that it was his 35th, could have sworn they said 42 though..) and Ned Overend raced at the ripe old age of 48, Travis was in the top 10 and Ned was top 20. As to 29"er content I saw one GF rider pretty far back in the pack on one of the new blue Supercals but I couldn't find the bike to get a picture when I cruised by the GF pit.
Oh yeah, the bad news. I went by the Kenda tent and Jim W. showed me the 2005 catalog that they are working on and there is no 2.3 tire in it. There is going to be a 2.2 Kharma however which is one more tire on the pile at least.
