Eugene Cyclocross Series - Race #2

Camp Harlow - The season, it is a changing. With that transition to fall brings disappearing daylight and the last of our evening riding w/o headlights. Tonight's race emphasized that point as the final race concluded in near darkness out in the more wooded sections of the course. Navigating the challenging roots, rounded river rock stones, or loose corners was not done by sight, but by feel and memory of what was seen in previous laps!

Andrew Bennett won the Junior race, then made his foray into the men's B category race, placing a respectable 3rd! Great job.

Luke Demoe showed up with some serious motivations, wearing TEAM COLLINS shorts and putting the power to the pedals for a WIN in the singlespeed category. Will we see him take charge of the "one gear" racing scene?

Chris Brandt thought he was in for an easy evening, with only four category A racers present at the start, none who had proven themselves in past races. With some tired legs from the previous weekend, the goal was to start easy. This was not the case as new-to-cyclocross rider Quinn Keogh (fast roadie) kept him on his toes with the throttle wide open until the very end, with a tight sprint finish. Chris had to pull out all the tricks and various techniques, and that fortunately paid off. He won the battle for the evening, as well as captured the overall series prize.
