Race 4 was held at a private off-road motorcycle racing compound near Union, SC.  At this facility, a dedicated junior xc mountain bike course has been developed. It is fast, flowy, and technical at speed. There are two climbs up rough hill climbs followed by a challenging grass section to the finish. Temperatures were perfect, and the dirt offered good traction.

Race Highlights

YCC’s Ethan Blocker, along with his teammates, continues to dominate the Varsity Class. Ethan came in minutes ahead of the pack. He was followed by Ben in 3rd and Jaden in 4th. Another epic performance is in the pocket!

The varsity Girls' race was won by Outdoor Master sponsored rider - Alexandra Cardozo. Her main opponent tried to make moves early in the race, but Alexandra was ready to counterattack.  After a final attack by Bea on one of the big hills, Allie countered with a relentless pace to the finish. She beat Bea by 2+ minutes!
