On Saturday June 8 Scott Pro MTB
team members Cam Dodge, Jay Dodge, Jeff Dickey, and Dylan Johnson went down to
Harrisonburg Virginia to compete in the 25th annual Massenutten
Hoo-Ha mountain bike race. This year the Hoo-Ha added an enduro race on
Saturday before the cross country race on Saturday.

The Enduro was a four stage
downhill event in which riders raced each of the stages for time and the rider
with the fastest combined time from the four stages was the winner.
Riding aboard his Scott Spark 900, Cam took the enduro win buy almost a minute proving that the Spark is just as capable on the gnarly downhills as it is on an XC race course(especially considering that most of the competition had 5 to 7 inch travel all mountain bikes). Jeff finished in strong in 8th place despite a bad crash on stage 2.

Sunday June 9 was the XC race.
Massanutten Hoo-Ha regulars and heavy hitters Jeremiah Bishop and Nick Waite
were at the race so we knew it was going to be a tough day(Nick was also on his
new Scott Spark 900). Despite a blistering pace set by Jeremiah on the prolog loop, Cam was able to stay with him going into
the first climb. Jeremiah and Nick turned up the pace on the climb and got out
of sight of Cam, however on the downhill Nick crashed hard but came back to get
5th place.
Just behindCam was
Dylan battling with Brad Perley for the third position. Cam
rode by himself most of the race and maintained his pace to get 2nd
place behind Jeremiah. On the final lap Dylan was able to open up a gap on the
downhill to snag 3rd place making for 2 Scott Pro MTB riders in the
top three and three Scott Sparks in the top five.

Jeff finished in the top ten, grabbing ninth place. This was a great result considering that Jeff was getting married in less than two weeks and had backed off his training. Jay had a strong race in the masters 40+ category finishing in fourth place.
