Battle at Barlow Report and Results

The Battle at Barlow presented by Veloce Bicycles
Sunday, October 8th
Sam Barlow High School
Gresham, OR

A mix of rain throughout the afternoon created challenging racing conditions for the top categories as the men and women of Portland cyclocross converged on Sam Barlow High School for the epic Battle at Barlow. A popular Cross Crusade venue in years past, this year’s race did not disappoint. A great mix of grass, pavement, trails and thigh-busting run-ups made for fun racing. The good folk at Veloce Bicycles promoted a great day of racing. Several competitors were brave enough to double up on their racing this weekend, having participated in the Fox Hollow Grand Prix the day before in Eugene. Chris Brandt (COLLIN’S CYCLE SHOP) and Tina Brubaker (VANILLA) were the fastest of the day in Men A and Women A races. Ian Leitheiser (HALF FAST VELO) took top honors in the Mens Master A category.

Here are all the results for all the various categories.
