I arrived at Mankele park on the Friday and there was talk of the DH race being cancelled. I was not too surprised since people were injuring themselves just by walking the track. Rain from the week before had made the bottom forrest section chocolate pudding served with rocks. I waited until it dried up a bit and decided to do 1 practice run on the Friday. From then on until I left to go home the event ran like a Swiss clock. Registration took all of 2 minutes to complete and I was good to go. Props to the guys driving the truck and the tractors to get us to the top of the hill. The longest I ever had to wait was 5 minutes for a ride to the top. I have no idea who organized the race because I was just there to ride but they all did a really good job.
