Deadgoat Summer Solstice 2012 at COP

The deadgoats hosted the Summer Solstice at COP today.  Nice day - bit chilly standing around, but great riding weather.  Trail was moist but not wet, and a very nice course.

This was Cindy's first mountain bike race.  She rode very well, breathing through a beaming smile the whole time, and finished 2nd.  Very impressive.  Sisters Lisa and Lori were excellent at the cheering section, and Josie and Victoria mostly slept through the yelling.

The elite race was awesome, if you count a deadgoat one/two finish as awesome.  Shawn and Craig rode very well (perhaps they'd even go so far as to agree they rode awesome?) with a great third for Gabor.  I finished not last, which was great.  First race really reminds the legs, lungs and back what they need to do.

Murphy's Law acted up and the memory card for my camera was filled right before Cindy's podium spot, and Lori didn't want to mess with trying to delete photos on a moments notice.  A bunch of photos of the races when I wasn't out on course are available here.
