2011 Missouri State MTB Championship
The 2011 Missouri State MTB Championships were held on Sunday. The KC Cup hosted the championships for the first time and did a great job. Here are the Missouri State MTB Championship results.
Congratulations to the new 2011 Missouri State Mountain Bike Champion Ashley Blum. Ashley rode am impressive KC Cup to take his age-group title and overall in the Cat 2 division.
Damian Almanza showed some great form stepping up on the podium in the very competitive Cat 1 division. Look for Damian to defend his Kansas State MTB championship at the upcoming Kansas MTB Championships.
Rich Anderson put in a good showing in the very popular Marathon class. He just missed out on a podium spot and took home 6th on the day. Nice chops Rich....
Tim Greene got in 4 laps for a solid ride and was very happy to survive 4 times through the slick Rim Job.
We had staked field in the Cat 2 division to support Ashley. Jeff Arnaud put in a great ride for 2 nd place in the 30 - 39 division. Sean Gaulter continues to improve and took home 7th place and Chris Love paid for his early pacing and rounded out the field for 9th. Now if Sean could just learn how to put a number plate on....
Brent Gowin came out of a brief retirement and spent the entire day looking over his shoulder but still managed to take home 12th in the always tough Single Speed division.
Chris Locke continues a slow comeback and rode to a 9th place in the Cat 1 40 - 49 division.
Never let this guy borrow your bike - John Williams tries out MTB racing. Tim's Turner will never be the same...

Thursday Night Worlds
**Update**
From Curt: "we do not have the course/venue for this week, April 28, so rides will resume May 5 and should be every Thursday from here on."
What: Thursday Night Northland Crit at the Police Academy
When: 6:15 pm on Thursdays
Where: Kansas City Regional Police Academy, 6801 N Pleasant Valley Rd , KC, MO 64119
Why: To ride those bikes with skinny tires around in circles, what else.
A ride leaves from The Wheel Cyclery at 6:00 pm. and heads up to the training criterium. Come on out and enjoy a night full of fun.
Course features: Gated, new pavement, a variety of courses to pick from!!! This will be a great opportunity to practice criterium racing and get to know one of the courses that Tour of KC will be held on this year
Parking: From the intersection of Searcy Creek and Pleasant Valley Road, turn left and go to the last driveway heading toward the facility, basically at the bottom of the hill, turn right into the drive, follow it to the back of the facility, you can park in the lot with signs that say "RECRUIT PARKING"...DO NOT PARK OR DRIVE ON THE GRASS!!!
Some things to remember: If the gate is not unlocked by one of our sponsors...don't go in...(common sense) While you are out on the course - DO NOT LITTER and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE ON THE SKID PAD!!!
See you on Thursdays for some skinny tire fun.
