Village Cyclocross
By Michael Zugmaier
Results WOW... what a great day for a race.. Sunny, a little hot in the upper 80's and a great group of racers. Thanks to the more than 60 racers that came out for this the first CX event of the year. A special thanks to all the new racers - we had 7 juniors and most were in the 10-14 age group. We also had 10 Women and nearly 20 Masters Racers and they raced very well. This year we added a Hill Prime and for those that 'went for it', they put on an awesome display. The battle in the CX4 between Chad Bishop (MCCC) and Kevin McConnell (ICCC) was nearly a photo finish as Kevin sprinted up the hill (15% Grade) to meet Chad at the line, but Chad made a last thrust forward to nose him out with both his bike and body. For the Women Robin (Goforth) Williams (ICCC) took a lead into the Hill and never even looked back as she finish well ahead of the rest of the Women's field. In the Junior's Jeese Leonard (DICE) started over a minute behind the Master's field yet he finished well up into the middle of them lapping a portion of the Master's field. Greg Aronson (DICE) 30+ won the Master's Hill Prime. The overall Master's event winner was Bruce Grell (DICE) 40+ who put in a hard days work holding off the likes of Tracey Thompson (ATLAS) 30+ and John Meehan (Priority Health) 40+. We hope to provide the overall finish for the combined Masters race, though at this time it is unavailable. In the CX 1,2,3 Event Brian Eppen (ICCC) looked unstoppable as he took the Hill Prime and a command of the race however a rolled tire and another flat put the damper on one heck of ride. Up until the tire mishaps Brian, Tony Nichols (Zoom Performance) and John Olney (ICCC) had a 3 man race that just kept pulling away from the rest of the field. However in the end Tony Nichols powered away with a clear win for TOP prize.
