Overcoming heat exhaustion, our polar Yooper citizens pulled out all the stops to show the world the Red Jacket - BlueSky Health Cycling Team is a new force to be reckoned with. Pontiac Lake is an intermediate course located in Michigan’s beautiful Oakland County. The course is packed full of varying terrain with respectable, longer climbs and fast, challenging descents along with varying technical terrain including soil, sand, and clay, log piles, and drops combined with rock gardens and root systems. It is understandably one of Lower Michigan’s most popular trails. The Red Jacket - BlueSky Health Cycling Team would like to thank Robert Linden and his Tailwinds crew for their hospitality and a race well done.
