At the Lava Rama, our 8 team riders
connected for 34 team points, with 7 riders reaching the podium. The
weather was hot, which was a disadvantage to muscular riders like Matt.
The climbs were long and steep. The downhills were tight, twisty, rocky,
and tricky. It was a good effort by our UMB team riders. Photos by Bruce
and Kris. |
