The East Coast Open.... potentially a great race and course but tried to do too much on their first go-round.... lots of us XC kids got mixed up on the course and took wrong turns... myself being one of them.... Started off fine with Brent Berger (Lapierre) and climbed hard to the top.... took turns pulling on the rollers under the ski lifts until i took us down the wrong trail... turned out to be O-Chute (a rather infamous DOWNHILL trail).... yeah... we almost died a few times... crazy rock gardens, the Coffin-Drop, Waterfall and a few jumps that made my little full carbon xc bike seem insufficient....
this pic is obviously BEFORE that wrong turn.... so we made our ways down to the start line just in time to see Andrew Watson come across the line with the win (congrats).... but it was great while it lasted!!! for sure a tough course and could be really good with some tweeking...
Congrats also to Cayley Brooks from Trek Canada for her 3rd place wins in both the XC and the Downhill.... that girl's got Skilz....
