Three days at River City. The Gold Cup Final NW ran September 11–13 at River City BMX in Grants Pass, Oregon. Here is Blake's weekend, using the classes and field totals printed on the official sheets.
Friday, September 11. At the Gold Cup NW Prerace, Blake finished 1st of 3 in 14 Cruiser and 4th of 6 in 14 Expert.
Saturday, September 12. At Gold Cup Final NW #1, he finished 1st in 14 Cruiser, with 5 total riders listed, and 3rd in 14 Expert, with 8 total riders listed.
