First mtb race in a couple of years, first SS race, and first time at Stewart. I had a great time.
I heard tell that the place was fast, but it turned out to be faster than I'd thought: I brought 34x18 and was severely undergeared. I found out right before the start that some guys were on 34x16 or thereabouts. Oops. I spent a good part of the race spun out, but I still had a great time on those trails.
Good to see some mtbnj folks at the race.
Ended up 10/15 in Expert SS. Looking forward to the next one.
