Goodbye Summer!

A weekend of bike related events were a great send-off to summer!

TRIPLE TRAIL CHALLENGE
Saturday 9/20, was the annual Triple Trail Challenge trail benefit ride for the MMBA Poto Chapter. The TTC uses part of the Waterloo-Pickney hiking trail that is only open to bikes once a year for this event. It connects the Poto, Waterloo-Pinckney and the Lakelands Rail Trail into a 42 mile scenic and challenging ride. Complimentary chili & beer awaits at the finish and everyone walked away with some good swag. Four Dark Horse Girls flew the colors at this ride and enjoyed the post-ride activities.





CHERRY ROUBAIX CRIT (Traverse City)
Road or Mountain Susan rocks, finishing in 1st place at Cherry Roubaix crit in TC. Congrats, Susan!

ADDISON OAKS XC RACE
Kerry and Janet chalked up 2 more podium finishes in their Iceman warmup at the Addison Oaks XC race on 9/21, with Kerry finishing 2nd in Sport Women 25-39 and Janet finishing 4th in Sport Women 40+. Way to go, ladies!

PLYMOUTH CRUISER PUB CRAWL
For those of us who chose to crawl rather than race on Sunday, the last day of summer was spent cruising around downtown Plymouth on our cruiser bikes and sampling different brews on various outdoor patios. This was the 3rd annual Plymouth pub crawl and proved to be another excellent adventure. Thanks to our sponsor Gary at South Lyon Cycle for the Fat Tire Ales and swag at the end!





So after a busy biking weekend, Dark Horse Racing says goodbye Summer and hello to Fall, Peak to Peak, Iceman and Cyclocross Season!
