If you are planning on racing in Depauw this weekend for one or two days, please email Chris
back by Wednesday at noon. List if you would like to race one or both days and we will
try to make it work. Also, let him know the earliest you can leave on Friday
afternoon/evening. Here is the link to the page where you can find the race schedule
http://mwccc.org/sp09/ . We will be racing a road race on Saturday, a team time trial and
a criterium on Sunday.

Racing at Murray State Kentucky ended up being quite an epic pursuit after spending a
week in the warmer mountains of northern Georgia. Mid thirties weather mixed with rain
and eventual flurries of hail made the Tour of California’s string of bad weather pale in
comparison.

It was nice to see the new guys and girl dominate the races. Steve Hickner (a veteran)
did especially well in the Men’s C race, sprinting for second place. In Men’s A, a flat
tire threw Jon Marymor out of the race and Brendan soon followed when a crazy Marian
rider attempted to run over a poor soul who crossed his front wheel in the middle of the
pack. Particles of plastic flew across the road as the riders computer broke. After a
small break away eventually stuck, Cory led out a sprint, gaping the entire field by 10
meters while Chris swung down the left side for 3rd in the chase group. We’re looking at top
ten to top fifteen for placement.

On Sunday, honorable mention goes to Sarah  for crashing out of the parking lot criterium
and then jumping back into the race, finishing without being pulled; very nice! Zachariah
Swetky sprinted for 5th on Sunday in the Men’s C race pulling some magic from his dreads.

And last but not least, congratulations to the new riders who raced this weekend!

Keep up the good work and get ready for Depauw.
