The 5th Annual Bentonville Bike Fest is in the books! Another incredible event put on by Kenny and the massive BBF team. It’s amazing how much they do in so little time. They even flexed around constantly changing weather, changed schedules, routes, and logistics.
Wesley and Andy brought along another friend, Emil, and set some of the best Elite sections I’ve seen. Several of the Elite riders commented about how much they enjoyed the challenges. Freddy and Zech pitched in to help with the setting the Sport/Vet gates while I set the others. I know several Experts were annoyed with the difficulty level I set but the scores show a very nice spread so I think they were just right. I tried to make sure Gate 1 was easiest and the gates got progressively more difficult up to six. The fact that Vera Baron didn’t even clean them all makes me think it worked.
As usual, massive thanks to the volunteers: Gal, Ryan, Jeff, Jen, Freddy, Robbie, Kyle, Ryder, Jim, David, and Robert. I’m sure there were numerous others who pitched in, too. Thank you all! You make our trials community the best!
Due to the weather, we ended up doing all of the events on Saturday. Turning the Elite lines around from Semi to Final in just thirty minutes was a challenge but, with all the great help, it was done on time!
