Fontana Results


4X racing last night was great. Fionn raced her XC bike since she does not yet have her Norco 4XXXX. She put those front chain rings to good use and pedaled her way to 2nd place behind Melissa Buhl and in front of Joanna Petterson.

DH was going well. Qualifying seeded Fee 2nd fastest and hungry to take Melissa out of that top spot. Come race time, the top section was fast and smooth, but a few errors saw Fee over the bars and off course. An injury free crash and smooth recovery kept her inside the top 5, just over 12 seconds behind Melissa Buhl's 2nd victory of the event. Top 5 ladies were:
1st - Melissa Buhl
2nd - Lisa Myklak
3rd - Joanna Petterson
4th - Claire Buchar
5th - Fionn Griffiths
