Lyons outdoor games
This years Lyons outdoor games was as fun as ever, with awesome weather and great levels for all of the competitions. Last year SSV was raging high so we had to change the race to above the narrows, but this years flows were a nice medium for a race on the narrows. Only 9 racers steeped up this year but it was an awesome friendly vibe at the race with everyone just excited to be going fast and to have a racer to safety team ratio of 1:3. I didn't have my best lines but still tied ofr second with stephen foster, but all of us were no match for Adriene Levknecht who smoked all the boys with smooth super fast lines. Hopefully more locals will come out and race next year! Enjoy the pics shot by Nick Abrams.
