Return on the Jedi - 2008
(Near Grants Pass, OR)
Miriam Gillow-Wiles raced well in another brutal, long loop, classic mountain bike race down in Southern Oregon. She toughed it out in the heat, surviving a crash, and got another medal on the PODIUM! Second Place Sport Woman. Her post-race drink of choice? Cold Coca-cola.
Chris Brandt was able to put together a decent ride as well, finishing 5th in the Pro category, and within one second of 4th place. It was a close one with a full speed sprint to the last corner. Another race ridden on the Specialized 29er hardtail, this time with a super low rolling resistance "Crow" tire and ultra low pressure (22psi). A little sketchy in the most technical, loose descents, but ever-so-fast rolling in the smooth sections.
