The first Arctic Bicycle Club Mountain Racing Division event of the season was described by racers as ?grueling? and ?totally fun.? The ten-milecourse, designed by Jeremiah Bell and Jamey Stull, was probably a little more difficult than our usual first race of the season. Well, no pain, no gain.Overcast skies and swarms of mosquitoes greeted the racers who seemed to really appreciate the new series opener. The next Hilltop Mangler will be held July13th. Don't miss these exciting and ultra challenging courses.
