CHAMPS RESULTS

What a great weekend of racing!!! Thank you to all 63 racers that came out and participated. It was a blast!

OVERALL RESULTS

(So, I need to update the results because I screwed up Amber and Sheryl's Hillside XC times - they are switched - so Amber is actually the Women's Champion, with Sheryl coming in 2nd place. I'll do it later tonight...)

Here is the final POINTS update.
Please take a look at it and make sure it looks right concerning your name and your points. If something is amiss, worry not, just email Megan! megpiersma@gmail.com

The Up & Over Challenge was scheduled for this Saturday, but it is postponed until further notice. Which is probably a good thing anyway, seeing as it's supposed to pour buckets all weekend...

Kincaid XC #5 Results

What an evening! Rain, wind, mud, more rain, more wind, rain... did I mention RAIN?
30 souls braved the weather and dare I say even had a good time doing it? We did have quite a few mechanicals (broken chains, tire burps, etc...) plus a good crash or two. Jamey and Tim duked it out in the end, with Jamey edging Tim out by a hair. Exciting!

Erik Hill with the ADN was out shooting some pics, so check out the ADN webpage for some sweet muddy shots.
