Riders/Racers/Supporters,Well the results are all in and what a great weekend of racing in Angel Fire.
The kickoff race of the New Mexico Enduro Cup beat our expectations with 88 racers making multiple lift-assisted runs down Angel Fire Bike Park. With only one orthopedic injury to count for I was personally glad to see so many XC racers making the leap into this fresh and fun discipline of our sport with minimal injuries and some great results. Angle Fire trails are LEGIT and some racers even conquered them on hardtail 29'rs!!
Also pro photographer Atmosphere photos took pics of all the racers

Next up is the
Los Alamos Rock 'n Roll EnduroFest on Pajarito mountain. This exhibition stop will allow us to preview potential trails to be used next years competitive race, and it promises to be a ripping fun day and weekend festival. Check out

The OSO High XC went off almost without a hitch, but there were some trail markings that we addressed during the race. Sorry to all the handful of racers who logged extra miles or got lost on course. We've already addressed it as a team and it won't happen again.
With that said it was a really fun event with 70+ racers making their way to the cool high mountains for a race that does much to raise awareness and funds to bite back at ALS.
The
ALS Association charitable component of the weekend was a substantial amount of funds raised by Doug Schneebeck, his crew ($44,000 in total!!!) of which the XC entry fees donated were $3,297. Doug and his family are great and they inspire us with their determination to make it better for the next person diagnosed with this mf'n cs'n disease.
