CCCX #4 - Race Report



CCCX #4 down at Toro Park in Monterey offered up a surprisingly technical course, a refreshing change from the pedally CCCX courses so far this season. Team SF DIRTLAB had four members competing for honors and bragging rights. Our boys hooked it up down there, setting up next to Lars and Trailhead Cyclery, flying SFDL colors and providing I-pod DJ services for all within earshot.
The track was a fun and fast descent through rutted double track, twisty singletrack, and tight switchbacks. The bottom was rolling and required some legs to maintain momentum. A short uphill sprint brought the racers into the last 300 meters, through trees and sketchy corners. The last 75 meters was dead sprint!

Matt Harden and Jesse Gray made the trip down from SF fashionably late, making practice a one run affair.

South Bay Dirt Labbers John Paul "Cooter" Albe and Jonathan Clark apparently had all the practice they needed, claiming 2nd and 3rd in Expert 19-34, respectively. This race tightens up the run for the series title, which Coot and Jonathan also rank 1 and 2.
