Race Review: Bloomer Park 2022

Bloomer Park has been on the MiSCA circuit for the last 5 years, and the trail never disappoints. With a start/finish venue situated on a large cricket field, and a trail system full of flat turns, punchy climbs, flowy downhills (and “Art’s Lungbusters” for the advanced riders) the race is always one of the team’s favorite stops in the series.

In what has become a sudden sunday tradition, we enjoyed a brief torrential downpour but quickly returned to some seriously great fall weather, with temps in the 70s and sunshine for everyone. We sun-cured our hotdogs before cooking them for extra flavor this week. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Sun-cured hotdogs – race food of champions!

For the second week in a row, both the Elementary and High School squads brought home a victory. This means our Elementary team is undefeated on the season! Team scores are listed below for your enjoyment.

Podium finishes abounded yet again for the Coyotes, with some familiar faces (and some new ones) mounting the awards stand for medals. We’re a little light on photos (and late to the game with this writeup) this week, but you can still share them to our band album for this race if you have them!
