LaGrange Urban Short Track 2011/2012 Race 4

Race 4 was crazy.
Period.
I would say "end of story" but it is one of those stories that needs to be told. Ok, I can't tell it, but you have to watch the video. The new years eve race could not have asked for better weather. Of the courses so far this was the shortest with riders turning 2-3 minute laps. But considering that we squeezed the whole course into 3 city blocks, that is not bad. The course ran through two buildings and in and out of alleys and cracks between buildings. Lots of thanks to John and Chellie who let us run across their property. I fear we have created permanent single track in Chellies back yard.

You definitely need to watch the video below that shows a couple of laps from the Cat 3 race. What I love most is watching the bikes out there and seeing the variety and the number of people that this urban format in drawing in. By way of example. The video below is shot from atop a full XTR Niner RIP9. You can see him passing a guy on a roadmaster who is racing in sweatpants. Both riders had a blast. Both riders will be back for next race, and what we are seeing is the development of the sport. New riders coming in, getting a taste and rolling with it. So thanks to all who have been helping with this, what we have done here is far cooler that I ever imagined. Now enjoy the video.
