Round 9 - Snowshoe GNCC

Snowshoe once again lived up to its reputation as one of the toughest stops on the GNCC schedule. Heavy rain turned the course into a test of deep mud, slick rocks, exposed roots, and steep mountain climbs, pushing both riders and bikes to their limits. Widely regarded as one of the most demanding races of the season, simply making it to the finish is an accomplishment.

Despite the challenging conditions, our riders put together solid performances:

Ryder Lafferty – 9th | XC1 Open Pro
Trevor Hulin – 6th | Open A

Strong rides by both Ryder and Trevor on one of the most physically demanding weekends of the year!
