DHMW stop two: done!
We couldn’t have asked for better weather on race day. Sunny, yet cool. We had a pretty full scope of the upper peninsula’s temperament weather this weekend. In any other situation, the weather would have made for a rough race weekend but not this time. Instead, it created the best dirt around and helped sculpt the trail into a masterpiece.
Alex Anderson did a tremendous job behind the scenes and on the front lines, from scheduling, emailing, putting up miles of tape, cutting trees, being an excellent MC, even racing his own even - He really does it all! Everything was very well planned and it showed. A huge thanks to the volunteers as well, they were an integral part in the process and ex*****on of the course and race itself. And the biggest thanks goes out to Marquette Mountain for hosting the race despite the mountain being closed for the season! None of this could’ve happened without them!
It was an excellent weekend overall. Come race or spectate the next Downhill Midwest race in Duluth on the 27th of September. I’d love to see more people out there at the final stop of the year!
