The Vultures traveled to the Central Oregon hamlet of Prineville for the Butte Scoot Boogie, Round 2 of the OICL race series. Uncertainty around AQI levels dominated the week leading up to the race, but our first storm of the year washed away smokey skies and graced racers with perfect fall weather.
The course was rocky, dry, and dusty – in contrast to the roots and coastal forest last week in Newport. Racing was tight, with several close finishes including a spectator-favorite sprint finish in the Sophomore boys category ending with Vulture Ossie Dunn taking his 2nd win of the season.
After the race, many riders enjoyed the Prineville Bike Park, Mt Bachelor (a little foreshadowing for Round 3!) and Bend trails. All in all it was a great weekend for the 24 Vultures and families who made the trek.
