Results for the event:  Aaron Denney scored (top ten finish @9th) in the 3/4 event as well as Adam Bourne (top ten finish @ 8th).  Adam Also scored in the 4/5 event at 9th place.  So our top performing athlete for the day goes to Adam Bourne.  Adam scored in two separate events!  Congrats to Adam!!!

Most of the fields were "loaded for bear" with the masters 30+ race fielding several current or former national champions. It was a great day, and it was assume to see so many Cumberland Cycles Team Members and Club Members at the race!!

We want to congratulate Mr. David Ponder for completing his first non-mountain bike mass start event.  We also want to congratulate Mr. Jay Garmen for being upgraded to a category 4 racer and participating in his first 3/4 event today.

We also want to congratulate Dr. Mark Henry, our clubs currently top ranked multisport athlete,  for a good start and performance in this non-multisport event!

Season Finals
The next three weeks are going to busy for our road crew (hang on just a little longer, I keep telling myself. We have BMW in Chattanooga,  August 23 and 24.  We also have the Indiana Stage Race, August 23 and 24.  We will run the August Barnesburg Time Trial Event on Sunday, August 31, and we have the Kentucky State Road Race and Criterium Championships on September 6 and 7 in London, Kentucky.

We also have all of our multisport athletes racing several times this fall.

Wow!
I don't know about you, but I am a little tired!  As a club, to date, we have put 582 riders in 138 points bearing events!!!!  Hats off to everybody who has scored in our Club Points Race!!!!!  (Jack Evans currently in a seemingly unbeatable lead)

We have had a great second year.  Thanks to Marc Travis's work on our team uniforms, and all of our sponsors, we have looked great. Not only have we been noticed as a team, we have gained a great deal of respect.  Due to the hard work of our club officers, Brad Herrman, Charles Senters and Jack Evans, we have become a cycling club and team that is known beyond our state boundaries.

BUT (!) I am hoping to collect two or three medals at our Kentucky State Championships, in London, September 6+7. We are not done yet.

Beyond that, I am personally looking forward to trout fishing and gensing hunting. I am looking forward to some time off from the bike. I am looking forward to the fall and winter. I am looking forward to starting a new foundation period with a team and club and shop that I have some to love a great deal..... Cumberland Cycles!
