Isn't it fascinating how a lone bicycle rider flying on two wheels through the woods and rocks can make us forget about everything else in the world around us? Whether a spectator, team member, media nerd, competitor or family member, when a bunch of these lone riders line up against each other with a clock to measure their performance, the energy of the environment becomes super-charged, for better or worse.
Jack Rice was in Mont-Sainte-Anne for the last super-charging of 2024 as the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Downhill concluded. He captures the electricity of the final race through photos and interviews and we're proud to share those here.
Thanks to Jack, John Lawlor and Rick Schubert for all the hustle this year at the World Cups. And thank you listeners for helping us keep the stoke for DH alive.
