The Northern Indiana Fat and Skinny Tire Fest brought riders from several midwest states deepening the field in many categories. What a day! With rain looming in the forecast all week, I told many friends how unenthusiastic I was about riding in the mud. I couldn't have been more wrong. The temperature hovered in the low 60s with a gentle breeze cooling us when the sun came out; the trails were in perfect condition with few tacky spots.
After being on the course for 20 minutes, was anyone else thinking, "I really need to step up my training?" For many, this was our first race of the year. Congratulations to Matt, Denny, Meredith, Mike B, Danny, & Blake on a tremendous first DINO race. Additionally, we were surprised by the attendance of teammate and standout, Jean-Luc who showed us he hasn't stopped training since his move to PA. Results are posted on the DINO website. Also, congrats to Mike F, Jeff, & Angela on some good efforts while on the course. I heard Jeff crashed and broke some spokes--looking forward to that story. I (Angela) had a tree jump out in front of my right handle bar which sent me flying to the forest floor. Unfortunately, I flatted in the process and was unable to repair it.
The last race included Noah Battin in the Shimano Youth Series where he earned a dazzling medal for his finish. Congratulations, Noah!
Below are some pics from Saturday.
