    Clean Slate Recap

    DIRTYCLEAN x Wildhomestay | The Clean Slate, April 2025!

    Due to the somewhat extreme weather on Saturday, the Clean race ended up being our hardest event yet and most of the participant’s most challenging race to date. A real, Day In Hell!

  • Something Sharp (and slippery)

    Something Sharp (and slippery)

    Clean #1

    It rained, then rained more and then stopped raining for the race but rain was still coming off the mountains with rain running down the rain covered roads. This made the little concrete roads super slippery which resulted in people getting a bit too touchy with their brakes and slipping over. Lesson learned for both us and the participants. We won’t run this course again during the spring or wet seasons. Participants need to heed our warnings on tire choice and pressure and work on their steep decent braking skills. Regardless a fun and challenging day was had by all and thankfully nothing was broken, other than an exploding wheel!

    2024 Queen & King Awards:

    The current standings for the Specialized’s bikes King & Queen award: ShawnC and JoelleT are first place and in line to win some great Sworks gear. One race down and three to go so it’s still early days and anyone’s taking!

    Next up is Clean #2: Beast of East. 99% good tarmac! 28 race tires are fine but 32s are more comfy and quicker?
