...about 10 minutes later, Redmond re-appears heading down the mountain in the right direction...
...while still holding down second place.
Winner Jarvis (right), runner-up Redmond (left) and third-place finisher Abbott (behind Jarvis) trade stories at the finish. All three riders enjoyed the race and would like to do it again next year, believe it or not.
Thanks for sharing.
