If you’ve watched Seasons you’ll know about the Mt Psychosis race. It’s a bonkers endurance downhill race in Golden, British Columbia with 4000ft of vertical descent and 13,000 Canadian dollars in prize loot. They say this was the last ever Pyschosis race “as it exists today” So maybe it’ll change and continue.
The big news is that Chris Kovarik took the win, 13 seconds up on Sam Hill.
Kovariks girlfriend Claire Buchar won the womens event.
A guy witha great name, Reg Mullet took the masters win, with Andy Bostock (one of Animals original riders) in 5th.
They even had a hardtail category, woot woot, won by Kevin Phelps.
