Bountiful Bomber DH Series #1
This weekend was great. I threw on some 2.5" Maxxis Minions, a 50mm stem, a DRS chainguide and some flat pedals on the RFX and raced the Bountiful Bomber downhill race (race #1 in the Utah State Series).
I was at a bit of a disadvantage running a trail bike with an RP23 against guys on 8" travel dedicated DH race bikes, but I figured a win would be stellar and if I bombed it (no pun intended) it would be no big deal.
I have to say the RFX definitely stepped it up.
First run: 6:08, 6:10 and my time of 6:11. Third place
Second run: 5:53, 5:58 and my time of 6:08. Third place again and I managed to scrub 3 seconds off my time even after hitting a tree and coming to a complete stop.
Final: Third Place Mens 30-39. Not too bad for a "little" trail bike going up against the big bikes.
