Burnin it up

What a day! We had 54 solo riders and 10 teams come out to brave some pretty oppressive conditions at Panther Creek State Park. After 2 "cool" laps in the 80s, the temperatures quickly spiked into the mid to upper 90s for most of the day. A cloudless sky made for tough times on the open sections of the course with the sun beating down. But everyone toughed it out and over 3000 combined miles were ridden.

Thanks to everyone who came out, I hope you enjoyed it. We'll be looking to make it even better for next year, so feel free to send your comments, suggestions, or complaints.
