June 26-27 Results

Official results are posted for Hyde Park Blast and Morgan Monroe State Park.

Nothing spectacular to show for Saturday's Hyde Park crit. Erin's 7th place finish in the Women's event was top honors and pretty respectable among one of the most competitive fields of the season. Dustin's 14th was the highest finish for the men. We all suffered from late registration which started us near the back of the field, nerly 90 riders in the 3's and 4's. The race started around a 180 degree hairpin turn. By the time you got around it the front of the field was about a quarter mile down the straight. It was a victory in itself that each of us fought our way up to the front group and finished there in a race that saw many riders drop out (both voluntarily and being pulled by the officials).

Sunday's Morgan Monroe SP race was equally hot, but longer and with a two mile climb. The 3's start list was too small to entice any participation from Indiebike but the 4's field was deep with 50+ riders registered. Indiebike had a handful of riders represented and one rider in particular had a breakout performance. Dave Cornelius finished 9th, his best finish to date, and he pulled it off on one of the toughest courses in the region. WAY TO GO DAVE! Thanks for representing IB on a tough, tough weekend.
