Race Report: 2022 Race #1 // Port Anegeles
We're Back! April is always a great time in the PNW. It means that DH is back and the NW Cup kicks off in always sunny Port Angeles, WA! Riders from across the country make the trek out to the Olympic Peninsula for one of the classic races of the year, hosted by the always amazing Dry Hill.
Party The Rain Away
The weekend started with some rain on Friday, and everyone warming up Friday night with an opening kickoff party sponsored by Deschutes Brewery with a massive raffle from all of the sponsors.
Always stunning in Port Angeles.
While Friday may not have been the driest day on the mountain, by the end of the weekend we were in gorgeous sunshine and warmth all over the mountain.
From Cat 3 u7 to some of the top world cup pros, everyone comes to Dry Hill for a fun weekend of racing with friends, getting some bragging rights, and saying goodbye to winter, and hello to a season of racing your friends and seeing who is truly faster.
We love our NW Cup Family
Nelson and Trina are the beloved USAC officials that run the start of every NW Cup race. After a health scare this winter, the entire NW Cup family is ecstatic to see Nelson still coming to the races and helping the start crew out. You can't keep these two away from a NW Cup race!
A Battle with a stump
Last year Andrew Ratkoviak had an unfortunate incident with a stump off track.... This year Casey presented him with what is left of that stump. Long term Andrew won!
