Sunday morning was dark a nd damp with a threat of ra in from the low overhanging clouds. It was not as hot with hi gh hum id ity as th e day prior. The riders rod e into a huge circle befor e a flat bed trailer o n whi ch J err y Young stood with a PA system . Co lorful flags fluttered from each nation represen ted , a nd a Navy color g uard carried th e co lors to center, but the Ripcords parachute team did not sh ow . . Secti on o ne was not an easy, getwarmed-up-type, bu t ra th er one of the technical sections tha t stopped many ri ders with a five a nd ot hers who ga ined a clea n were cheered loudly. It was a long sectio n, level along th e side of th e h ill , but up a nd down ledges with a huge slab roc k at th e end. And so it went from one ledge to a no ther sheer roc k wa ll 'till they go t to sectio n 10.
