On June 8th four El Grupo riders participated for the first time in the State’s Championship. We had a great showing on an extremely challenging course. For the boys that rode in the cat 5 event their course had a ton of climbing with some awesome views of Lake Roosevelt at the turn around spot. Their race was an out and back course of 60 miles with a mountain in the middle that was 8 miles long at 7%. There was no pack to speak of by the end of the race—the whole group blew apart the second time up the mountain. Ron was able to stay up at the front of the race though and managed an incredible second place. Alex was out there as well and finished in a highly respectable 19th place.
Max (12) and Logan (only 11), two of the newest and youngest, El Grupo riders were out there as well and did superbly in their respectful youth age group categories. They both finished in third place and had a great time racing. I was unable to watch their race so I am unable to tell you about it, but all I heard from them was that they had a great time.
Thanks for the great day of racing and look out Arizona, we’re coming!
