Comments: While Black Diamond isn't the flashiest production race, or the most scenic course in the PNW I really enjoy racing here. Small field, well managed and a great way to cap a season before the rains/crap weather return. This is my 4th year in a row doing Black Diamond and every year they make this a better and better race. The tech shirt, race medal and Deschutes on tap after the race (even if I don't feel like having one) are a nice touch.
Had a good dinner with my family at the Mint in Enumclaw after. I'll end this report by just saying this - They have lots of good beer and homemade bacon jam on the menu.
