This edition of the Silver Kings Hard Enduro was one of the most exciting races we've seen. In the Pro race, many of the 6 laps completed by the lead pack were led by a different rider! It all culminated in the craziest finish with the top 2 riders, Mitch Brightmore (who won) and Canadian hero Trystan Hart, swapping places twice on the final 2 turns! With the finish at the fire lookout at the summit, it doesn't get any better.
The race was amazing, the course and surrounding terrain were beautiful, and it was great to meet (and drink) with so many cool people in the hard enduro community.

2nd to last corner, Trystan passes Mitch!
Last corner, Mitch returns the favor and passes Trystan for the win!
Montage of the pre-show shenanigans . . . and yes you are not tripping, that is a green alien using the fan of his hovercraft to blow dollar bills to lucky parade goers, giving truth to the conspiracy that hard enduro is run by aliens.
Cheers to everyone who came to the CFR booth for a margarita. The Cheetah 2-stroke blender was getting a workout!
