Ah, Kamloops. My first ever BC Cup podium was here last year. The track is quite flat and pedally with no real technical sections other than one corner at the top named Carnage Corner. I was planning on racing on my GT ForceX because of the lack of steepness and technical sections.
I arrived on Friday night and took a couple laps of a different trail on my Force and was iffy about racing it. I decided to ride my DH bike on Saturday instead. The course was dry and dusty, just like last year, and the corners were already getting blow out.
I was feeling confident on race day, but a few mistakes in my race run was only good enough for 4th place.
The sprint before the finish line…
