Single Speed Colorado State Championship MTB Preride! [WITH THE STATE CHAMP??]

The Colorado State Mountain Bike Champ decided tag along for a pre-ride of the XCO state champ course in Copper Mountain, Colorado.
This race started at nearly 10k feet of elevation and didn't let up! 1350 feet of climbing within the first three miles, and then a fast descent back to the bottom. Do it twice and you're done.
My time on the single speed was 1 hour 49 minutes for the race.
