Big Bear Mountain Biking

Team Blue Competition. 24 Hours of Big Bear. Andy rode the last lap of the race and brought home the win for the team. It was a crazy last lap, he went out with only a 2 minute 45 second lead, pulled away a little at first but had a mechanical problem. He got it fixed on the trail, ran down the leader and finished with a nine minute lead over second.
