CX @ Brewery Ommegang 2011

Phew, another one in the books ... where to begin? .... Maybe start out by hoping all the racers, volunteers, and spectators have got all (or most) of the mud out and off their bikes, bodies and clothing.  The mud certainly made the race a whole different beast than previous editions .. maybe even a little more Belgian-esque?

First we need to give a hearty shout out to the racers for coming out and making the event a success.  Next, a big thanks to the many behind the scenes helpers that sacrificed their time and efforts in those critical "little" things like course set-up & teardown, registration, scoring,and various other aspects that get overlooked -- without these folks, there would be no event.  We also need to thank our supporters that included a few new faces and some that have been with us from the beginning.  It was an honour to welcome our new supporters Chobani and WoolSports -- both these folks totally mesh with the CX scene.  It was also a pleasure to have Endurance Factor and Road ID  supporting us again this year.  We also need to give props to our musical guru William Nicholson who provided the proper post race, recovery beverage enjoying vibe.  Lastly, we owe a huge amount of gratitude to Syracuse Bicycle and Brewery Ommegang for their support of our team as well as to this event.  We've probably forgot some folks in our post race delirium but we want to say thanks to all and everyone that had a hand in this event.

There's lots of pictures and some vids (and links thereof) at various FaceBook pages including those of Team-Ommegang Syracuse Bicycle, Syracuse Cycling and Central NY Cyclocross.
