We pushed for close to an hour on a scenic trail through the woods to warm up for the day. Around the corner from where we started was the race course. We headed up to the hill for a run down on the day and by the time we got there the roads were dry and ready to ride! Victor headed the volunteers meeting as well as the riders meeting. Afterwords the race was on!!

Riders meeting! |
On your marks get set....GO!!!! |
Riders lined up over and over throughout the early afternoon. Racing down the half mile course with speed. The course was pretty fast and had three left hand turns that claimed a couple of the riders. After much good riding/racing we had a winner. First place went to Kevin Rebhorn!! You couldn't ask for a better crew to ride with for the day. Everyone was positive and talented on their boards. I look forward to the next time that I get to ride with everyone again. A huge thanks to Victor Tu of CTDH!! Check out the link for more info on CTDH www.facebook.com/ctdownhill -Howard

Corey won gloves for longest slide and the VP of Centrals LB club earned himself a free helmet by being the most deserving there being that he hadn't had one!
