Report

Well, it seems like summer has maybe overstayed its welcome. Over 100 brave climbers overcame the heat and made it up our dirt climb this year! I saw everything from road bike to full suspension. Was that a unicycle I spotted descending while we were climbing, or was I hallucinating?

Hopefully there weren't too many scrapes and bruises out there. I witness a couple small wipeouts and heard of a few more, but hopefully we all made it up and back in one piece!

Looks like both of the records still remain, but just barely! Louise was just a few seconds off the women's records, and Andrew, Dan, Wil, and Brad all came very close to Chris'2020 time. Also, interestingly, it looks like most scored higher on El Sereno than Montebello!
