Altadena Naked Crow MTB Challenge

Entered a small grass-roots MTB race in Altadena today along with Nor, Carlyn, Andrew and Brett. The short course comprised of pavement and fireroad only started up the Arroyo, went towards Brown Mountain, over to Millard and down the Chaney Trail road. Here's a link to info on MB...



In all there were probably around 75 racers. The fastest time for the 8.2 mile course posted by a Fisher/Subaru sponsored rider was around 37 minutes. On local turf, Nor bested everyone in our group and placed 3rd in his age group. Carlyn also podium'd in the women's category.

It would be cool to do something similar on the local Santa Monica trails. Unfortunately, according to the race organizer, it took 7 years to get the necessary permits/approvals to run this event. Brutal.
