Congratulations to everyone who raced!

Our series finished up yesterday, after 11 days of racing (only 2 cancelled on account of rain). You can check out yesterday's results here, with the Overall standings updated here.

Over the 11 races, with 7 different categories (Kids, Juniors, Women's A and B, and Men's A, B and C), there ended up being 44 different people winning at least one race, and 90 different racers found their way on to the podium. So there was always some intense action at our races, wins were never guaranteed. Consistently good performance seemed to be the name of the game for our series winners. A big congratulations goes out to our series winners:

Kids: Oliver Hart
Juniors: Jack Tanner
Women B: Deidre Garvey
Women A: Erin Huck
Men C: Ken Kreidl
Men B: Rick Emerson
Men A: Bryan Alders

Bryan Alders and Erin Huck tied for the most number of wins this summer, with 6 each. The A categories had some fierce competitions, as both Alders and Huck won the series by less than 200 points. For the Women B category, attendance and consistancy mattered more than winning. Deidre Garvey never got the victory, but she was usually in the top 4 of every race. Her persistance and reliability resulted in the Summer Series Overall victory, which is an even more sweet reward.

We are happy to see so many kids interested in mountain biking. Over the course of the series, 55 different children competed.

The Short Track Series is a huge fundraiser for the CU Cycling team, so we REALLY appreciate everyone who came out. We want to thank Full Cycle as well for supplying the truck to post results on, and even moreso for the hot dogs and burgers they graceously supply week after week. It's been a fun summer. We'll see you again next summer!

Final Short Track!

It's hard to believe the 2010 series is nearing its end. After weather shutting down last week's short track, get the angst out this Wednesday. Being the final race this summer, we've got a great new course planned, we'll have awards and prizes, and of course Full Cycle will be on hand with the grill going.

Just to have everything all set, look through the results to make sure everything is copasetic, and let Abby know if there are any corrections that need to be made (abigail.carroll@colorado.edu).

See you Wednesday!

Sorry for the posting delay

I'm currently at a conference in Toronto that doesn't have free internet access. Thanks for your patience though. July 28th results are now up though, along with updated standings.
Only 2 short track races left, so make 'em count! We'll see you tomorrow!

July 21 Results Posted

Check 'em out here. With Brady Kappius and Colby Pearce missing this week, Bryan Alders boosted his lead in the Men's A's. Erin Huck was also missing from the Women's A race, allowing Margel Abel to seriously close the gap in the overall with her 2nd place finish. The standings for Women's B's is also getting close, as Phoebe Erdman's third place finish helped her close on overall leader Diedre Garvey, who finished 4th. Will the remaining 3 races be enough for Phoebe to make up another 50 points to win the series, or will Diedre hold her off?
Meanwhile, Rick Emerson's 2nd place finish on Wednesday secured his victory in the Men's B series (though showing up on the final day will be useful for prize distribution and podium pictures and such). The fight for 2nd is very much alive though, with Seth Smekel and Jusin Green separated by only 5 points. Todd Saveland and Tim Ackerman are currently tied for 2nd in the Men's C's overall after last week's race. So there's definitely still some fierce racing to be seen in these last few weeks of racing.

Rained Out for July 7

Rain all last night, less right now, but more on the way. We're sad to cancel tonight's short track races, but the research park is too soggy. Hopefully next week's weather is better, and we'll see you on the 14th.

June 30 Results

The full results from last Wednesdya have been posted. Ksenia Lepikhina beat out Phoebe Erdman in the Women's B's last Wednesday, closing in the Phoebe's 2nd place in the overall series. Cloe Foresman showed up for the Women's A's, the 2nd time this series, and also marking her second victory. Erin Huck still has a strong lead in the overall though. Rick Emerson continues to run away with the overall in Men's B's. And Bryan Alders expanded his narrow lead over Brady Kappius, the two finished 1st and 3rd respectively.

A small chance of rain this week could make for a muddy fun time. See you all Wednesday!

Short Track 6

Ksenia Lepikhina has now won 2 Women B short tracks in a row. If this keeps up, she might be able to catch Deidre Garvey for the overall points lead. Bryan Alders took back his top podium spot last week in the Men's A's over 2nd place Brady Kappius. These two have been neck and neck all season, making for some exiting racing to watch. Erin Huck continued to expand her lead for the overall in Women's A's. In the Juniors category, an absent Niklas Scheiling allowed Jack Tanner to take the lead in the overall with his 3rd place finish on Wednesday.
