The annual William's Lake race has been around for many years but we've never raced it.  Usually it's around Halloween time so my season is usually over by that time.  We've heard such great things about the race and now that Favata's Bike shop puts it on we decided it was one that had to be checked out.  We went down with Scotty, Stevo, and Mabel.  Luckily for us the super awesome Powell family watched Mabel while we raced.  It was hot and humid but overall a great race.  The limestone cave that I've heard about for years is really neat.  Its about 100yards long with candles lighting the way.  I looked forward to it every lap because the temp went from 85 to about 50.  The rest of the course was really fun with mostly singletrack and a couple of nice climbs.   Seamus won the pro men's race with me following behind for second and Aleksandra won the women's race.  Scotty and Stevo both did very well but I'm not sure how they did because the NYS series won't post the results until 2012.  We will definetely be back next year.
