Richard Haight
To everyone who came and participated at the Woodland Road Race,
We had a great turnout at around 180 racers. What a day for good little climb, and sprints glorious sprints. We learned alot from this, our first race, and have you all to thank. And thanks also for all the the great comments on the chat. Based on these it looks like we'll be back next year, awesome porta potties and all.
The pitch is 13% at one point, and a real leg breaker around that final turn. As to the full climb, maybe we'll do a Hillclimb TT at some point next year that could conquer the 6 mile brute.?
There are a few unclaimed prizes. They will be mailed to your address on the waiver so if that isn't where you want it, please let me know ASAP.
The following were unclaimed:
MENS 3: Gary Malcom you won the sprint
WOMEN 4: Debra Stolt- Krichko 4th place
MENS 4: Brian Bartel 4th Place
JUNIORS: Christopher Woods you won the sprint
Thanks again, and hope to see you all next year, and at the races until then.
