Angel Fire Resort’s revamped mountain bike park played host to the 2012 Collegiate National Mountain Bike Championships last weekend. Mountain Bike Park Director Hogan Koesis said the event was a good opportunity for the mountain resort staff members to showcase their hard work and a good chance to to gain national exposure. More than 50 different colleges were represented in more than 16 different events. This is the second consecutive time the collegiate event has been held at Angel Fire and the resort is in an agreement with USA Cycling to hold the next two collegiate championship races.
Riders vie for position at the start of the Division II women’s Short Track Cross Country race at Angel Fire Resort. This year’s race was accompanied by temperatures in the upper 70s and clear skies, a far cry from last year’s event, which was complicated by trails covered by two inches of snow and slush.
