After a long day of racing, we gathered at the Deadwood Bar and Grill where they recently added Dark Horse Brewery Crooked Tree IPA on tap. What a fantastic way to refuel!

6 Hours of Stony Creek
In the first SE Michigan endurance race of the season, Andrea & Jen were the only all-woman team in the 2-person open class, and in true Dark Horse fashion showed a few men how it was done racing to a 4th place finish in a field of 7. Each lap was about 10.5 miles long with a rumored 1150 feet of climbing, and the ladies finished 6 laps total in the allotted time.
Congrats to Andrea & Jen!
The racers and their most excellent support crew post race:
