Flower Power

May 18th, 2008

George, Aliza, Ilke, Kristyn head to Catamount Family Center to ride in the season opener! For several years, Catamount's head race organizer, Eric Bowker, has put on the early season race in mid-May.
The weather is always a gamble in May in the Northeast, but we got lucky with 60's, large cotton ball clouds and a slight breeze. George raced the 4 lap on his Soma Juice 29'r...singlespeed, Kristyn did the 3 lap on the same bike with gears. Aliza and Ilke chased each other for 4 laps, Aliza on her Titanium stead, a Moots, and Ilke on her....I'm not sure what it is, but she's shopping for a new one!
Everyone enjoyed the stress and excitement that a little race offers and produced results that gave each a base line for the weekly Wednesday night races soon to start at Catamount!
