Heritage Park Race Review

In its second year as a MiSCA venue, Heritage Park served up some great racing on a course that expertly blends flowy singletrack, pass-friendly two-track, and technical hillsides. The Coyotes enjoyed far better weather than last year’s visit when temps got well over 90 degrees for most of the day’s racing.

In the team competition, the Coyotes snagged their third straight victory in the HS division, while narrowly missing the victory in the Elementary race.

Is her bike ok?
