Ryder Lafferty took on the John Penton GNCC the past weekend. After getting a decent start, Ryder had a big crash on the opening lap. Starting himself in a big hole coming through scoring in 9th place in XC2. Regrouping and collecting himself after a big crash, Ryder started his charge towards the front. Making up time throughout the rest of the 3 hour race. Ryder had a never give up mentality to bring himself back within the top 5 of the XC2 Pro Lites class and 11th overall on the day.

Noah Clark made the trip up to Michigan this past week to do some set up testing for the upcoming National Enduros. Noah spent the day Thursday with Napper getting his bike dialed in for the Rattlesnake National Enduro. While he was in Michigan he decieded to stay for a local Michigan Sprint Enduro race at the Dutch Sport Park. After a slow start on the Cross Test for test 1 of the day, Noah improved his time each test. Moving up the ranks in the Pro Class each test. After the final and 8th test of the day Noah landed just off the podium with a 4 place finish, only 25 seconds off the podium.
