Arctic Bicycle Club, Mountain Bike Division

This was the final Arctic Valley Hill Climb of the season. Light rain made for a less dusty road up the six-mile climb, but it was still a washboard the entireway up. Temperatures at the top were in the low 40s, so the racers had a chilly ride back down the mountain. Will Ross secured a first place finish by 28 seconds against triathlon champ Jens Beck.
