[Mark Berg - CPD]

Day five started out with light showers and turned to heavy rain causing the course to disintigrate and leaving every rider for themselves to get back to the par ferme early. After check 3 things got ugly as the rain continued to get heavier! The officials eventually cut it off and sent riders back early for impound. It made the paddock a very exciting place as the riders came in out of order and on different minutes but the USA support handled it quite well. As of right now, they are not sure if they will keep the first two tests but the last tests will not count. Many, many cold riders but all in all spirits are still high!

No new rider have houred out, in fact Mandy Mastin got her's back when the dropped a check from yesterday!

Jon Seehorn had his rekluse clutch go out and had to replace in the paddock, that is not an easy task but all handled it quite well.

Most of the club riders just fueled up and checked in early wanting to get out of the rain. We'll see if it quits raining to allow the day 6 moto test.....keep your fingers crossed.
