Yellow Creek SP Mountain Bike Race Series: #3 May 2010

In the biggest turn out so far, 27 racers blasted out of the starting blocks for the third race of the season for the bad@ss 10.5 mile YC Grassroots Racing Series 2010.  The sun was shining, the birds were chirping...
an all round happy-mood-inducing day.

Even Mr Frog our mascot approved.

Track conditions were a tad slick thanks to heavy rain the day before, which created some wonderful opportunities to wallow in lovely lil' mud-pits.

First to emerge unscatched was Shane G. who snagged the first of 10 prizes up for grabs in the mens category. Anthony C. of the Buffalo Riders cruised in a little later for 2nd spot, with Ben S. (sp?) hot on his heels. In the womens category, Taylor E. of the Buffalo Riders placed fourth in her first mountain bike outing since The Macey.

Notorious (yet innocent-looking), The Macey has been banned from race tracks all over PA and was last seen plotting another gate-crash at the YC SP.















That's it for this race report. Thanks Friends of YC for organizing yet another orrrrsum race and the Sponsors too, especially Indiana Cycles for filling our bellies with tasty hot grub post race. See you at next month's race June 26, 2010!

Official race results will be posted on Ride YC soon. Race format and times also on RideYC.
