High Point

This loop still needs some fine-tuning in terms of which way to ride - as the legs and lungs were feeling it with a few quick steep climbs that are probably more fun the other way - but this loop was still a blast. Fast, flowy, some technical, lots of features. Need to look ahead and focus on what's coming next Great finish with Shark Fin Soup that's fast and fun downhill with kickers and drops. Lungs and legs were feeling it afterwards!
