August 17, 2007
The 2007 State Championships were ushered in with a shorter-than-usual but still intense hill climb at Arctic Valley Friday night. A surprisingly challenging initial entrance onto the trail portion of the route sent a few riders sprawling, but everyone's competitive spirit remained intact with some great finish-line battles.
