I didn't stick around for the podium deal...who ended up winning?  Looks like Alan from AJ's was in 1st for much of the race. 
 
Last year there were a bunch of photos up on freeridesouth.com and ridgerider's website.  Not sure where all the other photos will be this year.  Seemed like there were 2-3 photographers out there this time around.   
 
I had a great time.  Huge thanks to Red Trail Racing and all the sponsors for putting together another fantastic event!

I must add....there were two highlights to the race:
 
1.  The dude in the denim overall shorts...no shirt with a cowboy hat on top of his helmet.  He was on a really old rigid MTB of some sort.
2.  The guy on the oldschool Proflex.  Sweet ride!

Well, I tried  :D ::)

I got there early to warm up and get a feel for the steps.  I really didnt' think it was going to be much to go down the steps considering the crap we ride on the trails.  Well, the first time, I almost crashed.  I lowered the seat to make it easier to get further back and tried again.  This time I did crash.  I was contemplating my next move when I realized my front wheel was pretty tweaked.  I think my problem was too much air in the tires.  I pumped them up to 50 lbs to let it roll better on the pavement.  I think it was too much air for a rigid bike because it was very bouncy. 

 So no race for me  >:(   I still had plenty of fun though, and will try again next year.

Damn, that sucks.  I had more fun out there than I thought I would.  Can't wait for next year.  8)

This was my first race ever.  I really enjoyed it.  Although I felt like a turtle with my bike.  It weights 32 lbs.  The parking lot was killer, but overall it was a great workout.  
The first set of stairs were the best for me.  If you picked up enough speed you did not have to ride them down, just jump them!
Also, the guy singing the National Anthem was really good.
