Last section of the Lemurian course. I was tired and cramping by the time I hit this portion. But it’s such a fun section that it kept me motivated. Another great event. Thanks to all of the crew at the Lemurian!
First section of singletrack after dropping down the road from the Whiskeytown dam. Fast, fun, and swoopy with a few rough spots to keep you honest.
We all love this downhill. Well, maybe not everyone. But I sure do! And we even have a crash lesson added as a special bonus. Watch this guy go for the crazy pass on the right. Guess he didn’t know what was coming up and why the rest of us weren’t taking that line. Har Har!
Here’s the mass start of the Lemurian cross country race. This year there were around 375 racers. And only one crash just after we started rolling. Another great event! Btw - Here you can watch the 2010 race start
Here’s the painful hike-a-bike section before the the top of the final climb. Spent a few minutes last year with my quad cramped up so tight I couldn’t walk. Made it through this time without cramping. [ Captured using a GoPro HD helmet camera ]
More fun single-track on the Lemurian course. This section teases with a nice rolling descent and then hits you with a climb. [ Captured using a GoPro HD helmet camera ]
