Amity CX

Continuing the trend of DRY cross races this season, the Amity (W.Va.) CycloCross race went off under sunny skies!

----------------------------
Story by Kirk Morrison
For November, the weather was amazing with sunshine and temperatures in the low 50’s.
This was a fast, fairly dry course with a run-up (which could have used a rope ….. DX style !), some off-camber mud, and a steep downhill with a challenging off-camber right hand turn at the bottom.

The anticipated stream crossing (cold water!) was eliminated with the race-day construction of a make-shift running bridge.

Our group size was limited by the need for team members to set-up for tomorrow’s Murrysville CX (which Ag3r Promotes)...so "thank you to all the team members that actually “worked” this day instead of racing".

However, we were still able to make a good showing. Hannah had the top podium spot of the day.  Nice job Hannah !

A summary of our finish spots are as follows.

Women – Cat4:
Hannah - 2nd Place 

Masters 50+:
Rich - 4th Place 

Kirk - 5th Place

Ray - 8th Place

Men – Cat3/4:
Steve - 14th Place (11th Cat3)

Men – SS Open:
Kirk - 10th Place

Another excellent race from JR and Gina at ABRA racing. Great fun !
