Well done to Chris Harris for placing first overall. We think! Chris ran the race but auditioned as a replacement for the Energizer Bunny. He just kept going, and going, and….if anyone sees him, please tell him his dinner is getting cold. Otis Ingham resumed last year’s achievements with a strong (at least) second place. And Randy Smith continued his own improvement with a first podium place, in third spot–and has Otis in his sights. Laura Hope was, for the second week in a row, our leading lady.
The full results appear below. Apologies for any errors or omissions. It was hard to interpret some of the results this week, with a number of finishing names not on the sign-up sheet–and vice versa–and some ambiguity about what distances some athletes had taken on. If we have your result (or name) incorrect, please let me know at [email protected] and I’ll happily correct things. (Aside: if you arrive late, no problem–join the race, but please sign up and pay afterwards.)
A big thank you to Dawn Johnson for race directing; Janet Harrison for keeping us safe at the bike turn; Rebecca Harrison for watching out for traffic during transitions; and everyone else who pitched in to help.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: we don’t have many rules for these races. I usually say that there are two: stay safe and have fun. Of these, the most important is obviously the first. This week several adults voiced concerns (thank you) that some young cyclists were not holding a straight riding line, were not tucked in to the left of the road and, in one case, was not wearing a helmet.
Parents, we want to encourage youngsters to take part in these races but we can’t take responsibility for their safety and ask that you do so. Please explain to your kids the need to ride straight so that they aren’t hit from behind, and to keep to the left to avoid traffic (oncoming and from behind). Thanks! Finally, we do require that all cyclists wear a helmet, without exception. If you forget to bring one, there’s often one in the “lost and found” rack in the shed.
