Coming down off the steep decent to the hairpin (seat bumping the whole way down) right into GIANT section of mud. Up to my knee in mud on the 2nd loop. But the 2012 Red Head "Lupino" (little wolf) stood tall all day.
Ruts and mud were crazy but there were still some areas where you could get on the gas. Being up on the ridges was super fun. Nephew's 1st lap was strong but he got muddy on lap 2, poutted and quit. This makes two races where he's given up then whined about not finishing on the way home. Didn't learn that from me.
