Jordan Brandt was hauling. Abbott kept on charging. Slawson searches for traction up the loose hills. Slawson can relax in one of the smoother sections. Each rider was provided with a pre-programmed GPS used to follow the course. The GPS Redmond was using eventually failed and he became lost a few times, losing ground to Jarvis. Jarvis makes his way down the final technical section while enjoying about a 20-minute lead over Redmond. Jarvis, a former World-class trials riders, excelled in the technical sections. Without a working GPS, Redmond searches for the trail... ...to his disbelief he is told by spectators that he is heading in the wrong direction... ...frustrated, Redmond realizes he inadvertently missed a large section - a rocky downhill - of the course... ...and must turn around and go back and find the trail... ...so he heads back around the mountain to the top... ...about 10 minutes later, Redmond re-appears heading down the mountain in the right direction... ...while still holding down second place. Winner Jarvis (right), runner-up Redmond (left) and third-place finisher Abbott (behind Jarvis) trade stories at the finish. All three riders enjoyed the race and would like to do it again next year, believe it or not.
