Cyclocross Nationals - Day 1 Results

Congrats to Tige Lamb - 4th Place in the Men's 30 - 39 B class and Shad Schreiner - 5th place 29 under B class. Those dudes sure do know how to ride the mud. Elder president Chris Locke got a very disappointing 66th place in the Men's 40+ B class. Expect him to lose his ride for next year....
