Halloween weekend brings forth good stuff like candy, trick or treating, costume parties, and two consecutive days of cyclocross racing! Brett Davis is kind enough to lower his shotgun, open the gates to his farm, and put on a great weekend of races with a fun and festive atmosphere. This is the 5th annual event he’s hosted, thank you Brett!
Saturday saw the annual costume contest, with a 30 second penalty leveled against racers who do not dress up. Bruce Macdonald and Jen Petkovsek continued their solid attendance at the series, with Jen again sandbagging winning the women’s B race, while Bruce racked up some more series points by finishing near the top 10 in his race.
On Sunday, Bruce and Jen were replaced by Rob Thompson and Leah Halloran. Costumes are not mandatory on Sunday, although some people still get into the spirit of the season. Leah, despite a poor start, battled her way to the front of the race, and after a few more laps rode clear for the win in the women’s A race. She is now untouchable in the series standings and cannot be passed; nice work! Rob was having a decent day until he flatted. He made sure he finished though, and took a few beer hand ups along the way.
