Cross Crusade-Horning's Hideout Results

Another weekend, another great day of cyclocross. This time the Crusade made their first visit to Horning's Hideout, a great venue located about 30 miles west of Portland. Framed by a picture perfect postcard day, the course featured a bevy of technical sections including sketchy downhills, off-camber turns and loose dirt. The cream rose to the top as it does each week, with Carl Decker (GIANT), Rhonda Mazza (TEAM S&M/VANILLA) and Eric Martin (SPORTSMAN'S TEAM ONE RACING) taking the victories in the top categories.
