Another week, another DH race, and some more podiums for Context Gravity racing!
Pearce cycles Round 1 at Redwood Park was a great event; The track was an intense rollercoaster of fast berms and jumps, with the occasional flat pedal section thrown in. As usual at Pearce, we had smooth uplifts, friendly event staff, and a lovely chilled out vibe all weekend. These races are fun!
The dirt was at its grippiest for 1st race runs where almost all riders laid down their fastest times of the weekend. Sadly the threat of showers turned to constant rain late in the day for second runs, and for many riders the first run times would have to stand.
Congratulations to Harry Linton on another Senior category win for Context Gravity Racing, putting down a scorching 2:01.0 that would have landed him in 2nd in Elite! locked in 2nd place in Juniors with a 2:03.2, with Brandon Hall barely behind in 4th with a 2:04.0. Context owner Chris returned to racing after 10 years with a 10th place in Masters 30+.
Thanks to everybody who came over to the tent and had a look at some of the clothing on the way past, or grabbed yourself a hoodie to take home. If there was a prize for 'most overkill pits' we would have won it, we got a lot of compliments on our DangerDanger designed base for the weekend.
Thanks for having us! Can't wait for round 2.
