Social Distant Mountain Bike Racing - it can be done

It was done today at Hickory Glen in Commerce as the MiSCA youth riding club held race number one (not sure how many are slated) and yours truly patrolled with a handful of others. I did witness a few tumbles but no one needing this pedaling St. Bernard to assist them.
As far as the social distancing, the racers/riders were told ahead of time to arrive 30 minutes before their departure time (chip timed - riders started separate about a minute apart) and leave the park once you finish. No lingering. Most parents (lot of helicopter parents at that) were masked up with very limited clustering so a gold star to the group putting it on under the circumstances.
