12 Hours of Mesa Verde
A delayed report, but a great race nevertheless! The 12 Hours of Mesa Verde was well-attended by the BWR crowd. We had 4 solo riders (all on singlespeeds), and 1 duo team.
The weather treated us well this year, not too hot, not too cold. Good times all around. 
The race began with a Le Mans start. BWR was up front, ready to roll!
Jen, our only female racer at the event, rode singlespeed and finished 6th place with 4 laps.
Lenny rode solo singlespeed and finished with 4 laps.
Jeff rode solo singlespeed and finished 10th place with 6 laps.
Matt rode solo singlespeed and would have finished in 3rd, but a crash on his last (8th) lap only a mile or so from the finish left him with a 5th place finish. Three fractured vertebra and a totally broken helmet later, he’s well on the road to recovery. Hooray!
Our duo team, Cal and Mike finished 9th out of 38 teams with 8 laps combined.
Thanks to our sponsors who provide us with the means to get to and participate in the races!
