Green Valley Cyclo Cross 11-12-06
Green Valley Park, Moline, IL
I want to first thank everyone who made yesterdays race a huge success: Scott Swanson for officiating, Kat Greer and Lisa Wessling for registration, Mike Zugmaier, Bruce Grell, Mike Kurth, Jenn and Jordan, William Huntsberger and other DICE teammates for course set-up and tear-down. AWESOME JOB!! It takes a lot of volunteers to put on events like this…it’s never just a one man show!
Yesterday started off a little chilly…27 degrees at 6am for course set-up and it never really warmed up at all. It was 38 and felt like 29 at race time and the high was 47 and felt like 41. The wind was average around 12 mph…right off of the Rock River…which was in your face on the black top section at least.
The course ended up getting a lot of rain two days before and made things quite interesting to say the least! The first dirt road had a nice big muddy ditch to go through and a dropped tree to jump over with another larger one to negotiate around and then some more mud. Then going back to the sand pit was another dirt road that was full of nice water and mud…making the trek fun with multiple riders. The first big creek crossing was after the sand…which seemed to be the tamest section on the whole course, was the only dry crossing for the whole day! Then the next fun was a lot tougher section of sand before the second hurdle of the day leading to another ditch crossing onto the black top road. Next was the run through back to the grass…the last ditch crossing that had about a foot of standing water in it! Which I got to find out how deep when I had to run around a guy from Proctor Cycling from Peoria…man that was cold! The easiest section today was the hurdles going into the first dirt road…hard to believe!
Most everyone told me they loved the course and this was true Cyclo Cross racing and they will make sure not to miss it next year…which will be Nov 11th 2007…by the way!
The racing was fun and fast with a lot of unexpected surprises! Now on to the results…We had 63 total racers with 4 of them doing 2 races, 17 masters, 17 one day licenses for beginner cat 4, 5 juniors and 7 children, with 26 category racers.
Thanks again to all of the racers and volunteers for making this a great event! After the race we all went back to my new spinning studio called Donnie’s Indoor Cycling Experience www.DiceTraining.com for chili, tacos and beverages. A good time had by all and I want to thanks everyone who came by to look at the studio.
Pictures of the race are here.
