After checking in and getting our numbers, we suited up to ride during the 12:00-1:00 open course time. There was some rain earlier in the week, so the 1.6 mile course was a combination of both the greasy-slippery and sticky peanut butter types of mud.\u00c3\u201a  I guess now is a good time to mention&#8230; I&#8217;ve never really ridden in the mud.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I fell down a few times! The sun came out and the winds picked up, and the surface actually improved a bit during the hour that we rode, and by the time the masters women started racing, it was getting a lot faster. As long as there is no more rain between now &amp; Sunday, it should be in great shape for my race Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, I took some photos of the women&#8217;s 30-34 and 35-39 race since Kym (Vantaggio) and Kristen Wentworth (former teammate from Kenda) were racing in their respective categories.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few photos:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_542\"
