March 06, 2012 - Team BGB-Mountain Khakis Press Release
First Ride of the Season at a SE Classic - Clemson Freeride
While all the Northerners and Westerners still have a month or so of white stuff keeping the cob webs on the DH
bikes, its a different story for this Southeast based team. You can always count on kicking off the season right with
what has become a classic at Clemson Freeride thrown by a handful and orange purple yielding (Clemson) Tigers.
The Clemson spring race has become synonymous with being wet and nasty, so what did old Mother Nature have
in store for riders this year after the strangest Winters on record? Well, I know this rider was glued to the local
weather Doppler radar all day prior and all night before the race. This year would turn out to be no different;
mother nature yet again delivered what some call the Clemson curse. Or did it?
Practice kicked off bright and early, just 3 hours after the rains had stopped. Less than a handful of riders braved
the trail and Clemsons raw wooden features that early in the morning. First impressions all around, Man that
stuff is uber slick!! Early in the day, before everything had time to dry out, fellow rider Drew Dickson blew his
knee out on the Great Wall Ride Healing Vibes Bro! After that, it was hit that wall at speed at your own risk.
As time went on, something strange began to happen. Things got much better which really surprised pretty
much everybody. Clemson is just 19 miles or so from the GA/SC state line and has lots of that infamous Georgia
clay. That stuff can hold some serious water! But, by the time the first rider, Josh Standish, was released the course
was all but perfect. Junior Team BGB-MK Rider Aaron Bartlett was the second out of the gate posting a time of
1:38.5 on his first run. Followed by the ladies and Team BGB-MK Rider Heither Schultz, the Sport class including
Team Riders, Jay Guidry and Andy Pavlica, with the Expert/Pro Class with Team Rider Max Morgan. Each rider was
given two runs with the better of the two establishing podium positions. Team BGB-MK results can be seen below.
Overall, the event was a ball of fun. Turnout was lower than expected due to the wacky weather the day before,
but those that were turned off. You all really missed excellent trail conditions. Thanks to Richard Demile, Garth
Maree, and all the unknown soldiers from the Clemson Freeride group for another great season opener.
Shout out to all our sponsors kicking it this season: Mountain Khakis, Billy Goat Bikes, Rocky Mountain Bicycles,
