Race #3 Results

Tonight's race was a big loop around the east side of the city. The best bet was a run straight up the Union Street hill to the water tower at the north end of town. Anybody who didn't choose that route was a fool.

Travis and Dave

Gary, Rich and I(Seth) made it to checkpoint #1 at about the same time. Gary and Rich took the “shortcut” through the woods and fields, while I took the quick downhill to another climb up to checkpoint #2. Checkpoint #3 was in upper McConnell Park, and there was a steep and completely unrideable trail down to the lower park that cut nearly a mile off the route. Checkpoint #3 was an out and back on Cleveland street. I saw Tim, followed by Gary and Rich on the way back in. I had about half a mile lead at this point. The River Trail was the quickest way to get to the final checkpoint in front of Family Video. After that, it was a sprint down Steele street to finish at the bike shop.

The points race is really getting tight at the top of the standings. Rumor has it that Gary wont be at the next race. What does this mean for the standings? I guess you'll have to tune in to find out.
