Congrats to Michael Ziomek for winning the 13-14 XC National Championship race yesterday, in Winter Park CO. It was a big field of 71 riders from all over the country and he won in a sprint by just 2 seconds.   This is especially impressive because he was still wearing a cast last week from a wrist injury suffered a month ago.  Zwift isn't the best prep for mtb nationals but it was good enough for Michael!

Macky Franklin, who's single speed is Defending and Repeat SS National Champion FAST, crushed the rest of the SS competition to win by almost 4 1/2 minutes. 

Michael Palmer improved upon last year's 3rd place by taking 2nd in today's 35-39 championship's race. 

Jan Bear was just off the podium with a solid 6th place in the masters 65-69 race.

Apologies if I missed other New Mexico racers with high placings so far at MTB Nationals and well done to all that are competing there.
