Harvest Mountain Bike/ 5K Races for Charity

The races at Lake Orion High School are always a fun competitive atmosphere. Our team showed up to the event ready to race and help promote the sport(s) for a good cause. The race day started out very cold and dark and the weather only got worse. On the last lap for the Advance and Sport group(s) the rain decided to make things a little more slick. By the end of the last lap it was a steady down poor. The rain did let up for the start of the Citizen group and by the time we left, well, the sun was out! Congrats to Joe from the Bells MTB team for taking first overall. And congrats to Bryan U. and Mark L. for taking first in their groups!


So many of the team members enjoy these races because they allow you to experiment. Some riders, like myself try new race categories ( I only got lapped by three out of nine Advance riders), bike setup, a new bottle mixture and for some, simply doing their first Mountain Bike race. Thanks to Steve M. and the Lake Orion High School for putting on this event!
