The rough double track and loose, exposed, steep powerline climb was reminiscent of my early days on two wheels. Despite growing up and riding mountain bikes 10 minutes from Domnarski Farm this was my first time enjoying these classic trails. It was hot. It was dusty. The climbing was brutal. You had to be "on" the entire race, particulalry the rock strewn fire roads. Classic New England Mountain Biking. We all loved it!
