Excellent race by Maddawg and Darkhorse yet again! I’ll update this soon, real job keeping me very busy. Pictures are currently uploading at 9pm on race day, hopefully they are done by midnight. But here is the link to the pictures. Please note that during lap 1 I had some location and technical problems and I missed some riders, during lap 2 I had some serious hardware issues which caused me to miss another batch of riders. Hopefully I got at least one good shot of each rider, but I fear there are riders I missed, my apologies if I did.

Backwards! I haven’t seen the course run backwards since that one race I spectated on a fluke in the 90′s. Awesome day out there for sure. Great job by Marty’s.

Eddy: Super fast and super nice. Single Speed winner!

Beautiful day for a 50 mile suck fest in Wawayanda! Congrats to everyone that finished and to those that tried. Quite an accomplishment. I only took pictures on the 1st lap, but did so in 2 locations. On the 2nd location at some point my lens malfunctioned and while trying to fix it I missed a handful of riders. Too much mud still left over from the Stewart races, and one of the switches was jammed.

Here’s all the pictures:

There were some riders who got DQ’s for missing a turn. For those that I caught there is a gallery of free pictures for you. Hopefully it makes you feel better, I missed a turn out there too just trying to find my photo spot.

Here’s Woody. He’s completely retarded, as in Single Speed and full rigid.

Congratulations to Norm and crew for their first racing going so swimmingly. Truly a flawless execution. Bonus for having sandwiches and diet coke delivered to me in the woods!

And here’s Jim, I was all excited to see Jim back on a mountain bike, but he crashed and burned. Check out the blood on his right side. Valiant effort in a return to knobby tires though.

Beautiful day, gnarly race course. Who could ask for anything more? The new sections of trails on the race course are awesome, so I chose that for my location. WAY out in the middle of nowhere.

This guy wins for doing the Expert race on a Pugsley

Wow, wet, mud.
The afternoon was a beautiful day though. Great race, despite the mud and water everyone was having a fantastic time.
I got soaked from head to toe getting the pictures on the 2nd lap. Enjoy!
(Note!: As of 6:20am Monday, about 98% of the pictures are uploaded.

A fantastic close to the season with more beautiful weather.
Joaquin again gets my cover shot, I think Indyfab should give me a free bike for this shot

Unless a tornado hits Ringwood for the finals, this is going to be the most epic year of H2H weather ever.
I can’t even imagine the weather getting better than today. Maybe if it was raining money or something…
