Solitude
Big Cottonwood Canyon, July1, 2006.A heavy
rain soaked the mountainside the evening before the 2006 State Open
Championships at Solitude Resort. While it certainly kept the dust down,
the slimy roots added to the fun of this race, which many riders feel is
the most difficult course on the Intermountain Cup circuit. Twelve
UtahMountainBiking.com riders competed, with 10 riders hitting points. The
UMB team finished second in points for this race, losing some ground to
season-leader Revolution. |
