Dirt Remedy

This June Pure Austin is hosting a 4-race mountain bike series on Tuesday nights called the Dirt Remedy at City Park.  I missed the first one, but Max and I made it out for last night’s second race.

Start

We both raced in the “B” division which is equivalent to intermediate.  There were 24 of us at the start line.  The course is a short, sweet 4-minute loop that you do continuously for 40 minutes.  The winner is the one who finishes the most loops.

Max winning

Max finished 2nd last week and was going for the win this week.

Adam

Unfortunately I got a flat tire on the second lap and had to take an 8-minute break to get it fixed.  I was pretty much out of the race at that point.

Max finish

40 minutes of all-out pedaling is tough, but the race is definitely an awesome way to spend a Tuesday evening.  We’ll be back next week for the third race in the series.
