Had the opportunity to race in a team of 4 this past weekend in Cumberland.  The event is in its tenth year and helps raise funds for the local mountain bike club United Riders of Cumberland (UROC).  The course was short and super fun with lap times in the 19-26 minute range.  I had some breaks over the 12 hours and took some time to photograph a bit of the day.
