Race Recap By Rick Wise:

I had a great weekend centered around the Wilmington Whiteface 50K mountain bike race in Wilmington, NY (near Lake Placid)! The event was really well done with about 400 riders split between the 50k and 100k distances. It was awesome to spend the weekend with friend and teammate Asad Khan . We had some great home cooked food and enjoyed some amazing scenery while hiking, biking and swimming in the area. I was happy with my effort during the race. It was my first race anywhere near this length and I did pretty well. I took 10th in my age group. I had a fun sprint finish with a girl who was probably half my age! She nipped me at the end, but she deserved it. She had stronger legs at the end of the race.
