The rain at black bear was a little freaky. I was puckered most of the way down the steps. The wall was a cast iron bitch. I wasn't there last year but it seems the terrain changed a lot so only Ivan and Roger made it. I tried but ended up busting up my right front wheel after a bad spot (should have used my own spotter, no biggie). Others had more damage. OH! and it is my duty to inform all of you that I beat Ivan in the shingle shot race. He has pics.
