Bill, Chad, Tate and I headed up for the 1st ‘official’ Winter Park Super D this past Sunday. The course was very similar to last years Crankworx Super D, so that was comforting. And, we were excited to have a Super D that was longer then 7mins, (Snowmass SD)! Having flatted at the last 2 Super D races this year, I was eager to get out and do well. The gun went off, and the run was nice and short, but there was a short fire road climb to the single track. I got into the twisty trail first and was exhausted from the sprint to the trail. 2nd was breathing down my neck and passed me on the fire road climb about 1/2 down. At the climb just near the finish, I looked back and saw a blue and white jersey chasing me down. It end up being my BC Bike Race partner, Tate! It was awesome to finish with him right there! It was a great race with lots of Support! Tates father, brother and son were up there cheering, as well as Jessica, Matt, Sue and newborn, Hailey!

I am looking forward to see what Winter Park puts together for the Crankworx Super D and the ‘All Mountain Super Downhill’! – Jesse Swift
