2013 Draper Fall Classic 50

And the final race of my 2013 - the 2013 Draper Fall Classic 50 - was an excellent one! Stats: 4th place, 4 hours and 05 minutes, 6 minutes from winner, 1.5 minute from podium. Gory details are available on Strava.

My new Superfly performed excellently on the awesome Corner Canyon trails. Canyon hollow, Anns trail, Clarks, and Rush are definitely favorites of mine, and being able to race up and down them in one day is a treat. Great job to Draper city for the Corner Canyon area.

It appears 2014 was the season for top 5 results. 9 of the 19 races I participated in were top 5 or better yet only 1 was top 3. Getting closer. Speaking of getting closer I actually beat superhuman Josh during this race; proving that the bike makes all the difference :)

Fun course, maybe not great for a race
Perfect bike
