Arctic MTB #3 - Hillside - 30th June 2016

The weather had been sunny all day, great I thought another sunny race. At around 17:00 the clouds started building and the humidity went up, well at least for Anchorage it felt humid, there was also a light shower of rain when I left my house for the race. Fortunately the rain mostly held off for the racing which started at 19:00.

The course was a mix of STA buffed out singletrack, older singletrack (Llama), social singletrack  and ski trail. The course had around 500ft of climbing per lap, however roughly 400ft of that was completed in the first 2 miles, which definitely served as a warm up.
It could also be described like this, climb to the top of the Hillside STA trails will this climb ever end! Descend half way back down a fun (technical) trail, climb again on a loose and rooty trail to the top of the ski area, descend to start area on a mix of singletrack and ski trails then suffer as you climb (again) through double bubble ski loop.

Revolution racing had a great turnout with 12 members racing and one as support.

There are also some really good photos on facebook.
