10th Annual Capitol Forest Classic!

8/23/2016

4 Comments

 
The Classic is back! Or rather, was back. Two weeks ago Joy Ride worked with Friends of Capitol Forest (FOCF) to put together one of the best classics to date. With a turn out unmatched by past years numbers, and all time trail conditions this years race harkened back to a better time. A time where matching kits didn't matter as much, were no one judged you for not riding carbon and everyone was just racing for the finish line beer.

Like a patient parent, Squatch watches his heard line up at the start gate. 

It was a great thing to see Joy Ride represented in full force, with customers and friends (On in the same in most cases) sitting on almost every podium, and those who didn't cheering on from the sidelines.

Everyone loves JoyRide! We had a couple of great equestrians come out to sweep the course for us on Saturday night, when you maintain good relations with the other user groups it makes everyones lives better!
Picture
Erik Dukes (Riding for Joy Ride Enduro) had his eyes on the prize, reeling in his class (Expert men 30-39 ) for the win, and putting down a top 10 pro time. Not bad for an ENDURBRO!

It's not all about racing. Some people are just here to have fun. And thats what the classic is all about! The Poker run turned out to be the most popular category this year pulling in 30 people. Not bad!

Delia Massey (Pro Women) was all smiles on her way to her first Crown as Queen of Capitol Forest.

Jason "Hollywood" Gainey never misses an opportunity to get airborne for a camera. Even if it means he almost hits the photographer ;)

Logan Wetzel holds the title as Capitol Forest's longest serving monarch, having been King of Capitol Forest for three years running.

Henry was adamant that if I got a picture of him dabbing on course I wasn't allowed to post it. Whoops!

Russell Stevenson was on a tear attempting to reel back Toby and Logan on the descent, blowing up corners on an XC Bike like it was nobodies business.

Want to know how fun our trails are? Even on lap two of a brutal XC race some people just can't resist getting their tires off the ground.
Picture
Most people know Capitol Forest for it's miles of gorgeous and endless single track. But the locals mostly know it as the best place to hide a body. RIP.

Love your trails. Love your locsl trail builders. Thanks FOCF for keeping it real out there. Capitol Forest wouldn't be the same without you.
Picture
Jamie Stewart with the end in sight. Eyes on the prize, and the finish line just a few pedal strokes away, he could already taste the finish line beer.
Picture
Erik finished his race fast enough to clean up, get dressed, and then very quickly get undressed again. It's kind of his thing.

Picture
The afternoon was a smoker in the sun. Even the gratuitous amount of beer being handed out couldn't keep everyone cool.

Erik Dukes was looking hard to continue his domination from the Saturdays race into Sunday. Unfortuatly his stellar XC result lost out in the Ti-Breaker to Jason "Bollywood" Gainey and Erik was relegated to the 2nd spot in the All Mountain Championship.

This is why we do it.

Obviously, everyone had a great time at the 10th annual capitol forest classic. Everyone had a great time because they enjoyed the show and the athletes have given their 100% best on the competition. Though it is considered as a competition, we can see that they are having a friendly competition; those who failed to bag the top spots were genuinely happy about the victory of other which is as good practice. That should always be part of being an athlete.

This can depend on how you use your camera, or types of batteries, or how many times you charge the batteries
