Open Practice
The course is designed. I added single track sections and a few other new features. Several of us will be riding the course this Wednesday 10/14 and the following Wednesdays (10/21 and 10/28) starting at approximately 5:30pm. All are welcome.
After much deliberation, I decided on a costume for the race. It was a tough decision. I learned last year that wigs are no good as they do not "breath" which leads to overheating. The ideal costume does not slow you down, allows you the breath and looks sweet. I think I found something that works on at least two of the three. Not this one.

Race Report & Results
The 3rd Annual Chagrin River Cyclocross Challenge was held under clear skies and pleasant 60+ degree temperatures on Saturday November 1st. The festivities began at 10:00 am with the ceremonial tapping of the kegs and continued throughout the day as 91 racers and countless spectators enjoyed the colorful fall foliage of the 15 acre venue situated along the banks of the Chagrin River.
Although, not mandatory, Halloween costumes were highly encouraged. Many racers were in the spirit and were awarded for their efforts with cash prizes and beer handups. The beneficiary of this years race was Fast Track Cycling with the day's events raising just over $500 that will be used towards the efforts to build an indoor velodrome in the Cleveland area.
Aside from Fast Track Cycling, the day's other winners were Sally Price (Summa Care) in the Women's Race, Robert Sroka (Lake Effect) in the C Class, Ethan Sopenski (Unattached) in the Juniors, Ben Faller (Mountain Road Cycles) in the B race and Steve Twining (Trek Area 106) in the A race. Check back later for complete results. Pictures of the days events can be found here thanks to Rick Adams and here are some good ones and here from Ernie.
Thanks to Rick A, Dave S, Gary B, Bob R, and Tom K for the help getting the course together and race day support. Thanks to my parents, Russ and Sue Davis for allowing us to use their property. Thanks to our sponsors, Solon Bicycle, Keller Williams Realty (Sue Davis) and Beyondmotherhood.com for the tasty chili! Be sure to support these companies so that they will continue to support cycling in Northeast Ohio.
Thanks for coming and see you all next year, it will be bigger and better. Later, BRD
