The
fourth and final round of the California Golden State Championship was held
Sunday, October 10 at Southridge Park in Fontana, California. After several
days of rainy weather and cool temperatures, the sun returned to SoCal, beating
down on Fontana racers who battled wind gusts and temperatures well over 90
degrees all weekend. As the first pro racers left the start house the wind
began to pick up, creating a brutal head wind for the final 200 yard sprint to
finish line. For every racer who took to the course throughout the day, the
wind seemed to answer by increasing its strength for each rider who challenged
Mother Nature.
The
next Southridge USA race held in Fontana will be the Marzocchi Predators Come
Out At Night downhill race held under the lights Saturday, November 13, 2010.
