The last MNSCS mtn bike race of the season up in St Cloud held at a park right next to the prison!! I pre-rode the course to see what is was lie & found out that it was basically 5 miles of single track with no hills. The prologue went around the parking lot/field then into the CC trails for another 2 miles before it went into the woods. I was 5-6th at the gun knowing I could go hard because there were no hills. I was first into the woods weaving around like a top on crack until we pop'ed out onto the CC trail again. A rider from Freewheel got ahead of me out of the woods & as we were hammering through the course we kept on having to wait for people who started a wave ahead of us. Stayed that way the whole prologue & 1st lap, trying to pass peeps before we jumped back into the woods again to start our 2nd/last lap. A 1/3 of the way into the lask lap a branch went into my rear wheel spokes & I had to stop--2 guys passed me as I was going over this bridge (1 1/2 off the ground) and a branch went into my rear cluster & as I was looking to see what the @#$%^$## was happening i ened going off the bridge & landing on my head!!! More peeps passed me---DAM--I got back up & only got back one of the guys--OUCH!!
