Sorry you couldn't make it out and we will see you next time.

Glad it was an interesting experience although an underpowered one. This front resembled the one that came through with the last boardercross. You remember the forecast and what the winds did then, stayed high pretty much all day. In this case, the wind changed direction, spiked way up and eased off instead of staying up per the NWS forecast. Depending on when you started checking realtime winds upweather or to the north might have indicated some softening of the wind. The Skyway record stayed up more than others, is this an artifact with the sensor or is it just windier there?
How many riders were in the race? Who were the folks that came in first?
