ALTIUS CYCLOCROSS
We are on for October 10 and 11 this year. As in years past we will be at Chimborazo on the 10th and Bryan Park on the 11th. We are also partnering with the VCU cycling team to host collegiate races those days. More to come but wanted to get this out there.
Bryan Park Update
Sorry this has been a bit tardy, trying to ride and it's amazing how that gets in the way of things.
So a quick recap of the past few weeks
Impressive feats/notable items
- Two weeks ago we had a handicap race where the Cat 5s got a 30 second lead on the 4s in the B race and the 3's got the same on the 1/2s in the A. It was unannounced and made for some fun racing. The 5's almost held off the 4s. The 3's wilted like a cheap flower though and were caught pretty quickly. We'll do that again sometime.
- Dan King continues to rock the A race winning two weeks in a row (and 5of 9 total) with a bike throw each time. He now has a nearly insurmountable lead and I don't think I would recognize him without the Tuxedo jersey.
- Mason Haymes showed in the A race that its not the bike, its what you do with it when he was forced to race his cross bike with a 48 front ring. Knowing that he couldn't win the finish he buried himself and took 3 primes essentially winning more than if he won the race. Impressive and smart.
-Jimmy McMillan dug out his road bike, showed up and proceeded to win the A race in his first crit in well over a year.
-The B race is much closer than the A, but CJ Congrove seems to to be settling into the Bozo Jersey. TNP seems to struggle with how to create a strategy to keep him from riding off with one lap to go
- CJ also did an impressive double last week by winning the B and then taking 7th in the A so that may be why TNP can't catch him.
- Emily Helmbolt continues to hold the women's jersey by being the best placed female finisher in the one and only race where we had 3 women.
- Finally I only got the top 3 in the June 21 B race. Thought 568 was 4th but can't find that # on the reg list. 5 and 7 were TNP but you got out of there so fast I couldn't find out who it was and Carytown was 6th. If you fit any of these descriptions let me know. You don't win anything but I want to give series points to those who deserve them.
If I have forgotten anyone else's amazing accomplishments, please feel free to post and my apologies.
Thanks to everyone for coming out. This week, numbers on the right and juniors at 5:30 PM
