Round 7 of the 2010 season was held June 27th at the Denver Classic in Denver, NC. This was a popular venue both times I was there & the NCHSA raced there last year and it was the same this past weekend.
The weather cooperated with no rain which can make Denver a real mudder, instead dust and HEAT were the words of the day in the open areas. The woods offered some much welcomed cooler temps and cleared air. Denver also has a great stream for cooling off/relaxing in. This was also the first race that my wife attended also, and she was VERY thankful for the creek! Along with e hot weather came some hot racing action. It was alot of fun watching folks battle it out in the various races throughout the day.
I try to get good shots of the starts but the dust made that just about impossible after the first 2-3 riders blew past bringing a huge dust cloud with them. I also didn’t get shots of the Mini D & Women D starts as I went to the Trackside Church for a few moments. Big thanks to them for the great music from the band Bestowed and the great eats Saturday evening.
Looking forward to Union SC race in 2 weeks and hoping that the weather gives us a small break from the scorchers we’ve been having lately. Hope everyone has a safe & Happy 4th of July!! I’m going to get a few more wallpapers together from the earlier races in the season, so if you have an image in mind that you think would make a great wallpaper be sure to let me know.
All the photos from this race are uploading now and should be available for viewing/purchase soon, you can find them HERE. I welcome any comments or suggestions as always.
