Cool 5 K Run and Walk

Hello Crew!

COOL 5 K RUN WALK

 

Cumberland Cycles Crew Club/Team Members take three first places and a third.

Four other members helped organize the race.

I haven't ran a grand total of one mile in the last twenty years, but today, I ran 3.1 miles - in a race no less, and I loved it. The Sumernites Cruise 5 K Cool Run and Walk was held today and we had several club/team members either participate in the race directly, or organized it.

We had a total of five Crew members participate in the race:  Adam Bourne, Charlie Bailey, JT, DR Swanner and Dave Stewart.  We had a total of four other club/team members directing the race. These are Jeff Parmelee, Jack Evans, Dave Zwick and new comer, Carrie Altmaier.

All of these club members received 20 points for their participation in the event, and the ones who raced, received placement points on our usual schedule. As a result, we've had quite a change in our points standings. Be sure to link to our blog and see our club points standings. Cumberland Cycles Crew Points Standings

Club members, Dave Stewart, DR Swanner and Adam Bourne all won FIRST PLACE in their categories. As a result, they got an extra 25 placement points in our club points standings. Charlie Bailey came out of the race with a total of 40 participation points, because not only did she finish the race, she pushed her son, Guy, in a stroller as well, so we are figuring that as a total of two club members completing the race!  And JT finished his race 3rd in his age division, so he also received extra points.

We also awarded club members Dave, Jeff, Jack and Carrie 20 points for participating in the race in an organizational fashion.

Maybe next year we can get a bike race organized with the Summernights Cruise as well!

Team Ride Sunday
We will meet at the Vision Center on Sunday at 2 PM for a long team ride.  Hope to see you there.

Barnsburg Time Trial
Just a reminder that we plan to conduct an individual time trial at Barnsburg on June 26 (Tuesday) starting at 7 PM. This is an eight mile time trial along Barnsburg Road - out and back (4 miles then turn around).  Staging and parking will be at Barnsburg Church, but the start/finish is located one mile west of the church on Barnsburg Road. 

Remember, the 7 PM starting is "first rider off" and you need to get checked in and get your start time between 6 and 645 PM at Barnsburg Church.

We are hoping for a good turnout.

YEAR END RACING
Although I have been very busy with my son this summer, I do plan to race in August and September!  There are some really good year end races coming up and I plan to get back into peak condition for the Tour De London.

We would also like to announce that Brad Hermann is organizing a circuit race for the Burnside Festival (Formally known as the Catfish Festival). It will be held on about September 15, 2007.   Brad is doing a great job meeting with the folks from Burnside - selecting a course - getting it all organized. I think the event will be very attractive this year and should be a very exposed event for our club.  We want to begin to encourage EVERYBODY in the club to come out and participate in this event.  We already have approval from the Highway Department to close down part of US HW 27 in front of Reno's.

This will be a non-sanctioned club event, open to anybody with a bike. It appears that there will be two racing categories, experienced and novice.  The experienced competitors field would consist of anybody who has ever raced in a bike race or multisport event. The novice field would consist of anybody would has never raced but would like to see what it is like.

Much more on this later. Stay tuned or contact Brad Hermann for more details.


Remember to support Cumberland Cycles in any way possible!!!!!!  It is time to get started on 2008!!!
