Montana Cross Race #2 Results

Missoula, MT - Playfair Park
Sunday, October 8th

5 Valley Velo/Team Stampede presented the second race in the 9 race Montana Cross Series. The promoters put together a new venue that featured a nice blend of asphalt, grass, concrete, dirt, gravel and sand. They threw in a few barriers, both natural and artificial, to keep racers on their toes. This course allowed groups to stay together, and rewarded the craftiest tacticians as well as the most physically fit.

The day was marked by great participation, in terms of both competitors and spectators, at the opening weekend of our Montana cyclocross season. We'll hope to see that continue all the way through to our final event in November.

Many, many thanks to Jim Clapp, Ely Wilkinson, Howard Williams, Don Russell and Michelle Voigt for their extraordinary volunteer help with the race. Without them, the race simply wouldn't have happened.
