Thanks to Robert, his dad, and mom for running such a laid back yet well organized event. I can't think of anyone who didn't have a great time out there today. Thanks to all the sponsors over the 3 race series for making it possible.

I've been a spectator in all 3 races and look forward to racing in the next series. All in all a fantastic day, great weather to race/spectate, and was very interesting to see the pronghorn bikes being demo'd today. Thanks to Marcus and company for helping make that happen. Congrats to the 3 people who won the big bike raffles.

Pronghorn Racing's booth with the demo bikes. FS bikes designed in denmark and being sold in the US for the first time. 3 AL and 1 CF frame on demo today.

GEST24 rocked this Pronghorn in both the nightcrit on Saturday and the XC race on Sunday.

PH CF Frame

Very good turn out in the XC field, we even had a few kids racing today

Robert belting out the course instructions.

Cheating at the start.. he started a good 30 ft in front of everyone else.

This kid was rocking it out there

Gest24 rocking the PH on the downhill section... he's racing in Clydesdale for a reason... see that gut, it's there to reduce his center of gravity!

This climb was brutal, out of the 30 riders, we only saw 4 or 5 make it to the top without having to unclip

The PH is def. an eye catcher. I'll be doing a review on it in the next couple days once I get some more pics from everyone else that shot the event.

But a quick review on the bike, I'm excited to get mine built up and out on the trail.

Not true at all. A bit of a spoiler from the review but, I had a situation today where both my feet slipped out of the pedals going uphill and had absolutely no contact with the shock or top tube.
