Smithville Cross 10-24

Smithville Cross was very tough yesterday. The course included hills, a beach section with wet sand for about 10 yards, twists and turns of 90 or more degrees. One run up was so steep, cyclists (me at least) leaned on their bikes to help them climb. Temperatures were mild 60 - 70 degrees, and though it was overcast, it did not rain.

Our team showed up in force! Seven riders participated in three different categories. All rode aggressively. We had thrown chains, flat tires, crashes, slips and slides; yet everyone finished. Congratulations to everyone who raced. Here are the results:
