I raced a Hare and Hound this past weekend in St. George Utah, and figured I'd share a little bit of my brothers helmet cam footage. He ended up 9th overall (of 300...the BLM limits the number of bikes to 300 at this race) and 8th open Expert (all but one of the guys that finished in front of him race open Expert...and 5 of them are Pro riders, but my local series doesn't have a pro class).
To say it was dusty would be an understatement. But he killed it, and rode really good.
It was a 55 mile first loop with a 38 mile second loop.
This was filmed on a Replay XD Mini...(If you were wondering).

Fuck That.
Congrats on the finish, ive had a few races that were dusty but nothing that was pure blinding death like that!
This was probably the worst race, for dust, I've ever done. It's always dusty (well almost always), but this weekend there was virtually no wind at all...so the dust didn't move...it just sat right on the course. Usually there is some type of a breeze that will blow the dust out of the way, so its not as bad.
So if you watch at about 1:50 in that video, my brother drops into that wash, and on the way our there is a rider picking up his bike, and my brother asks if he's alright...here is that riders helmet cam of that crash. He got LUCKY!

The rhino rally is my favorite race of the year...this was by far the worst year for dust, and they put together a very difficult course, so the dust, the heat (it was over 80 degrees) and then a technical whooped out course made for a brutal day. But that's why we do it.
I didn't get out to Panaca...I don't get out to many of the Nationals, but I think Panaca is paying points for my local series this year, so I'm sure its on my calendar (assuming soccer games or dance competitions to get in the way...lol).
I DNF'd...
full of NOPE
respect though.
