Our Falls City Fat Tire Festival weekend fizzled into two separate weekends of racing this year. While both were super successful promotions from a logistical sense, the sum of the parts hardly made up for the potential whole.
The XC race never materialized due to Weyerheuser refusing to allow recreational use of the Socialist Valley Road easement in Falls City, Oregon.
Instead we hosted the OBRA Short Track Championship in the Upper Park. While we had ridiculous T-storms the night before and throughout the day, a few die-hard racers showed up and we had a fun time.

Food, running water, flush toilets, power–everything most MTB events wish for but not enough racers. Hopefully we get another chance next year.
As for yours truly, I seemed to have injured myself this week and couldn’t really do much of a race and ended up way off the back of my race. No worries–I had lots to do that day!
