Whew, whadda day folks!!
Imagine if we put 130+ riders on a bunch of sick techy mtb trails, told them to shred downhill as fast as they wanted, told them to do it five times on five different trails, let them shoot the shit with their friends on the climbs and then had copious adult beverages, a foodtruck, awards, tables of draw prizes, sunshine and more shooting the shit with friends afterwards?
Now THAT would be a sick day! That would be the Keppoch Enduro 2021 Edition!
Conditions were greasy but not muddy, damp but not rainy, fast and definitely not slow.
Youngest competitor = 9 y/o
Oldest competitor = dunno but he probably ain’t counting the yrs anyways
Savage field of U18’s from each of the four Atl provs including winner Carter Stratton of Freeride, St John’s NL whose time would have put him well up in the Expert Men cat. I’m at ease for the future of mtb talent in Atl Canada when I see the list of U18’s that are getting at it.
Big thanks to Keppoch- esp Alanna, Peter and Josh!- for hosting the event and doing much of the heavy lifting on the course prep and organizational side.
THANKS to Lorenzo for the flawless timing. Timing can obviously make/break a timing based results event and Lorenzo continually hits it out of the park.
Thanks to Big Spruce Craft Beer and (insert name of food truck here!) for preventing post race hangryness and lubricating the story telling.
Thanks to the sponsors that support and help make this stuff better: Rocky Mountain Bicycles, Devinci, Fox Racing, Callus Moto/Mtb, Bike Monkey, Dirt Care, Troy Lee Designs, and Dose Media.
