Walton Park Crit Movie

This Saturday, CRC had four guys in the Snowcone B race – Miles Lankford, Chris Antovonics, James Wittwer and yours truly. It was an exciting day seeing as it was both Chris’s and James’ first circuit race. All I can say is, it’s great to be young! We had a field of about 60 and both Chris and James stayed right where they needed to be – close to the front. Miles and I sat in and offered a few pointers along the way, but for the most part they made our club proud.

Mark, Jake, Dan & I went to NC Saturday to do a 64 mile road race. The course was rolling and there was only about 20 or so entered and by the time the race started, there was close to 60. There were several attacks early as a few teams worked to get the right guy in the break. At this time, only a few guys are able to ride a break for 50+ miles. One guy took a flier and Mark tried to catch. We rode tempo on the front, but with the head & cross winds, Mark wasn’t able to catch the lone rider who ultimately solod the entire race for the win. Time to Regroup!!

Thanks to Craig, the 2011 CRC online membership registration is now available. Any and all riders that wish to race under the CRC banner must register. This not only includes the $20 registration fee but agreeing to the liability waiver. Remember, if you don’t register the shop won’t know you’re a member. Git ‘er done!

Hi everyone,

Saturday December 4th CRC is holding the last cross race of the year, at Darden Towe. One of the more epic courses out there, Darden Towe is a great family friendly venue as well. Additionally, the CRC Holiday Party is that night (7pm on, at 620 Ridgemont Road Earlysville Va 22936).

But to pull off one of the classic CRC races, we need your help with the following:

Thanks to the efforts of a bunch of people, CRC is going to be stepping up in
2011 with a renewed focus on racing. Back in the day, CRC was a Virginia BAR
powerhouse and it wasn’t uncommon to see CRC at the front of the race. Well,
its back to the future time as CRC is back in the race game and even fielding an
elite team. Mark King, Bill Scanlon and I will all be returning to CRC this
year to race. Additionally, Cat 1-2 BAR champion Dan King will be joining CRC
as will another superb bike racer in Marc Warner. But that is not all, we have

Looking like Saturday December 4th. We should have confirmation of that and some exciting news for CRC 2011 very soon.
