H2H Stewart Poison Ivy Mousetrap
by Alan Starrett • May 21, 2019
On May 11, Yohsuke and I raced the H2H Stewart Poison Ivy Mousetrap in NY (XC bike race). Stewart has fast, flowy trails with nice shale rock formations. It rained a lot leading up to the race, so although the weather was nice that day, most of the course was muddy with large puddles. This meant lots of bike maintenance after the race, but it was well worth it. I was really enjoying the course, especially the shale rock areas and ended up finishing 2nd/Pro. Yohsuke was racing strong, but did have a crash - no injury though. Yohsuke finished mid-pack in his competitive Cat 1 class.
