The Leavenworth Parks and Recreation Department outdid
themselves! Their cooperation and "Can Do" attitude helped to
ensure that the event would be a success. The Leavenworth Community
Center is truly a jewel. The privilege of keeping our
registration/weekend headquarters there for three days made the event
better. At every turn the staff was helpful and courteous. They
truly reflect the attitude of the Director of Leavenworth Parks and
Recreation.

from the Buffalo Bill Cross we sponsored in Leavenworth on Friday night.
8/13/2012 Results from Late Night Under the Lights
Last night was the culmination of five weeks of bicycle racing at the Warren Middle School in Leavenworth. This race series has been terrific. Thanks to the hard work of Roger Harrison, Joe Porter, Paula Cole, and Barb Sheehan. These folks have been there every week putting in the time and effort to make this a successful event.
Monday night was unusual for this summer. Temperatures were in the low 80s. We had no gale force winds and no hail. It was truly a beautiful day in Beautiful Downtown Leavenworth. The kids were very excited. Many of them had saved their numbers from last week's rain-out. At 6:30 PM all the 1-5 year old children were lined up at the starting line without being told. They were anxious to get started. Part of the charm of this race is in the competitors. A girl rode with a tutu. A boy rode on a tricycle whose theme was Mater from the Movie "Cars". All of them were smiling.
Some of the children's races were fiercely competitive. The 9-10 year old children had acquired road bikes and learned the techniques of drafting. In their three laps of racing the bicycles flew by the spectators causing us to lean back. Harry Ross stormed out front on the final sprint, while Eric Harding edged out Abby Olsen right at the line. Great racing!
The adult race started at 7:30 PM. We started with the Miss and Out. We had new racers and more experienced racers. This is a training race. Racers learned quite a bit this summer. How to put on a bicycle race number. How to draft. What gearing to use a in a criterium. What clothing is allowed in a bicycle race. One very important thing we learned last night was not to impede the progress of riders when you have been lapped and are out of contention.
Thanks to our sponsors: Leavenworth Parks and Recreation, the Leavenworth Bicycle Club, Kramer and Associates Accounting in Leavenworth, Harbor Lights Coffee House, Pizza Hut of Lansing, Mr Goodcents of Leavenworth, the Leavenworth Times, and Marfield's Pub of Leavenworth.,

State Championships
Two riders represented Santa Fe Trails this weekend at the State Championships in Pittsburg, Kansas.
Spencer Wallace raced the men's Masters 30-49 Road Race and took ninth place. The Master's 30-49 was an open race which means that Spencer raced men of all categories: 1,2,3,4 &5. Great job!
Shawn Morelli raced the women's 1/2/3 Road Race. From Roger Harrison: "According to Renae, Shawn kept surging and they would catch her, she lost it on the final climb". Shawn took 4th. Great job!

Late Night Under the Lights - July 25
Late Night Under the
Lights:
Champions All by Chad
Blankenship
There
was warm glow glistening from the street lights. Sweltering heat rose from the
pavement. The scene at Warren Middle School was electric with anticipation. A brave
group of riders ranging from one to twelve would not be deterred. Straddling their
bikes, helmets in hand, sipping water from bottles donated by Santa Fe Trails
Bicycle Shop, the energy coursed through the air. The turn out was outstanding
with fifty-seven children ready to conquer like riders attacking the final
stage of the Tour de France. Then the moment came and they were off.
Each
child pumped their pedals with determination as they rounded through the course.
These kids battled the heat and persevered. Every child was a champion in their
own right and we would like to recognize the top three riders in each category.

Not
to be out done, an eager group of adults readied themselves to tackle the
course with vigor. There were three categories and every rider attacked as if
their lives depended on it. The competitive nature oozed from their pores and
the sweat dripped onto their handle bars. We would like to note that this was
the first race for Sonny Hatton and Michael Donegan. Additionally, David French
is new to the Juniors (Cat 4) category. Congratulations to each of these
riders.
