Ommegansters were spread across the state doing their own 'cross thing this past weekend. A handful at Cobbs Hill in Rachacha, a few at the Swandrome and the Jeffina down in the Hudson Valley.
Cobbs Hill: Hate that hill ... Jeremy (the lord) K, Eric the Bolt, and AJ raced the open mens event on a fairly tight course and that long freakin hill. Of the 51 racers in the open men's field, Ommegangsters wound up with an 11th, 13th and 23rd. On the senior circuit (40+ Masters), Drumroll gets a 6th out of 33. (Kudos to Ommegangster friend Diamond Dave F for the Masters win & 15th in the open .. give us a chance man.)
Swandrome: The King & Krew got in the grassroots groove at Swanny's place just up the hill from Ithaca. Karl King of Kross F representing in the Masters with Mike K and Cory P in the open for a 7th & 13th.
Hudson Valley: The Jeffina tandem did the back to back Sat & Sun with stellar results. Both races, both on the podium. Sat & Sun saw Jeff finish in the 2nd spot both days in the Masters 45+. Katina (the lovely wife) also managed a great weekend with a third on Sat and 1st on Sun in the Elite Womens races. Congrats !!
Also gotta note a handful of the Ommegangsters participated in Syracuse Bicycles Trek Women's Ride for Breast Cancer Awareness on Saturday. Always good to be humbled and reminded it's not all about racing and results. Nothing like riding next to a breast cancer survivor to help one keep their perspective on what a real challenge is all about.
