On Saturday I joined the rest of the crazy's to take part in the "Green Acres" CX in Lake Elmo. This event is held at a snow tubing location and if that tells you anything about the course then you need help. We got about a inch of rain the night before which caused alot of mud on the course. The gun goes off and they shoot us up this long hill to break up the group, which it did! We did a loop of about 1/3 of a mile on top going around this corn field dodging mud puddles on the way. Then we went down the tubing hill switching back & forth on the bottom we shot into a double barrier section. Then a run up on the side of a hill which was full of peeps giving dollar bills and beers!! Then we went down a smallish hill into a 100 yds of mud---Awesome!
Then loop around the back side with switch backs on off camber, then thet sent us by the keg of beer!
On the 3rd lap I was heading down the hill into the 2-barriers way to hot and when I planted my foot to dis-mount I slippped out and hit the barrier and the bike flew!!!!! OUCH--from there on I just had more fun!!
Later
