NW Cup Finals!

July 27th, 2010

So woke up at 5am on Saturday to go pick up Travis Erickson and head to Dry Hill in Port Angele’s, Washington.

We arrived to PA at 9 am and Travis began to practice. As I hiked the mountain to find decent spots to shoot at, I walked some of the side trails. Wow, the other trails I saw were amazing and looked like so much fun to ride. So back to the racing, I ran into Travis mid course after one of the Keifer guys had broken his collar bone on a tree that stuck out into the course. Travis had also blown up from this same tree, and some others.  All in all people were looking fast on this dry dusty course,really fast. After watching the pros some time later in the day, I decided where I would shoot Sunday.  After practice we headed to the Elwha river to cool off and then set up camp.  After the river we set up camp at the  Elwha River RV Park (www.elwhadamrvpark.com). What a cool place to camp, the owners were very nice and hospitable. The camp sites were nice and clean, even had a commons type outdoor kitchen/ BBQ pit. After setting up we headed back to Dry Hill for the Spaghetti feast! Casey, Scott and all the others that put on a race also feed us. Free food and lots of it, thank you guys again for that! So finally it was time to go get some rest, every one was beat from getting up early and riding all day. Around dusk our group headed to the fire pit, for more beers and laughs. What a fun night 20 or so people makes for a good fire. Around 1230 it was finally silent in the campgrounds.  Woke about 7am got some coffee and headed back to dry hill.  Everyone got ONE practice run today, apparently some people like to poach and get in more then the competitions’ practice amount.  The racing was over about 2:30 and I am pretty sure I got a shot of every single rider. All in all a great weekend and another great race put on by the NW cup!
