Thank You!

A sincere thank you to all who supported the 4th edition of the Hampshire 100. This year's results are now posted.

The weather was certainly much different from last year. The lower temperatures, dry summer, and revised course all led to some very fast times.

From first to final finisher, there was an amazing array of personal stories. Whether it was an elite-level rider able to climb the powerline section, a rider whose chain broke 2 miles after the start and still managed to finish the race---and fast, or those numerous riders who were in their first mountain bike race, they all were inspiring and helped make the 4th Hampshire 100 experience what it was.

Many have been asking about the welfare of fellow competitor, Gabriel Crooker, who took a spill on course, and needed medical attention. Although still hospitalized, he is doing well. I have spoken with him, and passed along all the well wishes. The concern and support for him from his fellow competitors has been outstanding, and he appreciates the good thoughts during his recuperative period.

Confession - the event director played for a bit today, riding the last 7 miles of the course.

Included was a significant stretch of glorious singletrack trails created and maintained by Greenfield Trails Association. Many included in the Hampshire 100 for the first time.
