The Socorro Desert Race

So our little band of desert racers did quite well this past weekend down at the little Socorro OHV park. It was definitely a true desert race that threw a little bit of everything at you, from deep ass sand whoops, rocks, sharp rocks, gravelly washes, high speeds and some really steep climbs and descents. My hats off to Alan who hauled ass for 4 17 mile laps, and to Sean who rode the last 9 miles on a flat front tire, and tore up the amateur class in his first NMDRC race ever. Look for him in the expert class next year or prepare to heckle him pretty hard for sandbagging. Alan defninitely was kicking ass out there as well, his speed was consistent all day, and he has been working his butt off getting ready for Baja, so buy a t-shirt and help the team out!!! Our other rider was Angie, and her fourth place finish doesn't do her justice, just check out her style in these shots, she definitely had the speed to run up front, but a little bit of rider error at the start dorked up her chances...I am not going to tell you what she did, but just ask her, maybe she will tell you:)
