They call this section "Blood Rock" I have no idea why.

Another victim.

This guy seems to have the hang of it.

The next John Tomac?

Um...dude? The bike's a bit small, eh?

Guess it must of been really hot, nobody is wearing elbow or knee/shin guards.

Good place for a photographer to camp out!

They really aren't used in cross-country racing.

When I get my bike, I think I'll start off a little slower than that

That was the race announcer clowing around on one of the kid's bikes. It was pretty cool to see this multitude of little ones riding the trails.

I got off the bike and hoofed it. That section was toward the end of the race, and I was so fatigued at that point I was pretty sure I'd eat it. Everyone was yelling "RIDE IT!! RIDE IT!!" and I'm like "I'm a roadie....we're wussies!!"

That's pretty much what I did.

Results finally posted today. I came in 24th out of about 60 riders.

I can live with that considering I haven't raced MTB in years.

It's XC, not downhill. You rarely see knee/shin guards in an XC race.

That's at Oak Mountain in Birmingham. Wish I could have made it Fausto.
