    Today with all the stuff going on at Fontana, I thought we would see a soft turn out at the 3rd race.. WRONG! Packed house. over 450 kids again to race in the 3rd race held at Sycamore Canyon.

    The course today was a fast fun and flowie with a few good climbs. The weather was perfect for racing and the pits we loaded.

    Our leader for Diamond Bar High school was back at it working hard to make sure all of kids were ready to go. I think all the team leaders do the same they are taking this to another level. Good for the sport, Good for the kids good for the schools

    Here are a few photos from todays event

    This KID is Fast!

    My middle schooler was all set to race yesterday, but got a nasty cold that kicked in Friday night... :-(
    Couldn't even go out today with him to cheer on the HS kids.
    Great to hear it was such a GREAT showing out there today!!!

    Don't forget, MtB racing is dead, and racers are not influenced by what the top racers are riding/wearing.

    OK, I think maybe I should let that thread go. It was just so absurd, it stuck in my head.

    Great to see all those high school kids out there plus the 500 or so out at Fontana. Thanks for posting and supporting them. :bang:
