Several West Michigan Coyotes had a great showing at the Big M Challenge XC race this past weekend. The race featured a hilly, difficult 16.5-mile loop, that gave away “no free trail.” In addition, this race put several of our racers into a strong position to win their respective Michigan Mountain Bike Association Championship Point Series age groups.

Finally, Coaches Zuelke, Frehr and Kincaid all raced in various old-men’s divisions. Coach Miller, who is writing this article, is just as old as them, so don’t think he’s making fun of their age. No way. He would never do that.
