Thumb Butte Bike-O

Weather and riding conditions were perfect for the Prescott Bike-O event held on May 21.  The area was blessed with a good rain (in May!) a few days before the event, and it really firmed up the bike trails. The map had 45 controls spanning 20+ miles of “singletrack”— among the best mountain bike trails to be found in Arizona. Turnout was light—only 10 entrants—but all the bike riders seemed extremely pleased with the course and the trails.

Ludwig Hill had an impressive showing on foot, scoring 530 points in two hours.  Ludwig noted that the map and area would have made for a great “mini-Rogaine”, so perhaps we will return again under a different venue.

Results for the various categories appear below.  By amazing coincidence, all entrants fell into unique categories, so everybody is a winner (kind of like kindergarten):
