East Garrison Looking Good
I rode three laps on the East Garrison course with my son's team today, practicing for tomorrow. Conditions are good (unlike last year, when it was freezing rain) and the course is well-laid out with a good mix of flow and passing areas here and there. Because it is dry, there is a reasonable amount of loose sand in some spots and I saw more than a few kids go down today because they were laying on the front brake or had weight too far forward. (Coaches -- warn your teams -- no front brake in the sand; just sit back, pedal, and let 'er drift.) Should be a smaller group than last year for these early races when we are divided into "North" and "South," but it is always exciting with so many new riders and families coming aboard for their first race!
