Expert Master 45+ Paul Stahman had a great race taking 1st Place in spite of an early first turn where he was momentarily tangled up in yellow tape............. then flatting and having to play catch up. Also, although he didn't know it at the time he had a bulging tube that miraculously held on for the duration of the race eliminating flat number two. Andrew McDermott - Wooden Wheels Racing (see picture) is having a great year as an Expert placing in the top three position again. It wasn't that long ago when he moved up from Beginner. Andrew placed second 1:06 back. John Berchtold - Bike King placed third 1:29 back. Fair Hill is our next "Classic Series presented by Trek" race July 18th. The Delaware Trail Spinners are grooming the trails in anticipation of a great turnout. Make sure to join in the fun as this is some of the best singletrack on the east coast. There is even a grandstand at the finish line to cheer on the riders, great facilities and an all around fantastic venue. These are single loop courses........ no laps.......... top notch racing. The Fair Hill race will definitely continue their tradition of having a Kids Race. The Delaware Trailspinners promises an incredible 26 mile "lap" for the Experts, a 22 mile "lap" for the Sports, and a 15 mile "lap" for the Advanced Beginners. Beginner First-Timers will get to ride about 9 miles of the main course. New for 2004 is a Clydesdale class (does the Sport course) and a Single Speed class (does the Expert course). This is one race you won't want to miss. See you there July 18th............. additional info @ http://www.trailspinners.org |
