The Clif Bar Development Team had another successful weekend around the US.
Jordan Cullen and myself made the trek out to Louisville for the 2nd stop of the USGP, the Derby Cup. The race was hot and dry, the first lap resemble more of a dustbowl then a cross race. Despite the weather the folks in Louisville are doing a great job with their new venue that will host the World Championships. Super big thanks to the McShane and Haley families for helping out Team Clif Bar.
Jordan soled off the front both days to win the 2/3s field. Keep in mind this is a 15 year old kicking but in a field of grown men. I fished up 27th and 28th on the days starting from back in the Elite field.
Curtis White stayed close to home and finished 6th in the 1/2 field in Saratoga NY after a hard fought race with big group of chasers.
Kolben Preble got treated to a real muddy race at Cross Crusade # 4 at the infamous PRI in Portland. Kolben fought his way up through the pack to finish 15th, his highest placing in Cross Crusade to date. He has also been working with the promoters of the races in Portland to set up better recycling.
Zack Gould and Spencer Downing were defending Team Clif bar home territory in Boulder Colorado this weekend. Zack had a great ride at Xilinix this weekend finishing 2nd in the 3’s. Spencer placed 20th in the large field.The next day they finished 7th and 16th respectively in the 3’s field at 3rd installment of the Boulder CX series.
