after years of vowing to never race at Butt Hill ever again when i completed my high school slalom days i went back on thrusday and took apart of the 1st 2010 Butt Hill thursday night mtb race put on by penncycle.
the race was an absolute shit show, it was muddy, sloppy, and absolutely amazing. i took 28th out of a field of 62 men. not too bad, i felt as if i could have gone faster, but i constantly got stuck behind riders with poor bike handling skills, or people with the inability to clear technical climbs. i finished in a time of 59.01 and apparently my name is now Wentz instead of Werts, but oh well guess you cant set you hopes too high for the Penn Boys to get shit right...
click me for results
after the race i met Joshua Collins of the singular race team, and got to geek out about his Singualr Gryphon drop bar specific 29er. the bike was awesome. fit me incredibly well, and the lever position with the drop bars was nice and low, something hard to get on a 29er. i loved it and i need one.
