BIG BEAR AMATEUR CUP #2 TOP TEN LIST--JULY 9

MBA'S AMATEUR CUP #2 TOP TEN LIST

Team Big Bear's second Amateur Cup was also round four of the California State Cross Country Series. What TBB had in store for the riders was the National Course -- backwards! While the national layout was fun and challenging, riding the nine mile course backwards was fun, challenging and EXTREMELY brutal. The general consensus amongst racers was that this was one of the more difficult courses they have ever raced at Big Bear. This was backed by the attrition rate of riders and bikes alike.

Of course the MBA FACTORY Crew showed up to race. Now fully recovered from the painful experience we have assembled the official MBA Top Ten List. Following is a compilation of the fastest riders at Amateur Cup 2.
