Hello again, all! Coming to you from Sonoma, CA, it's Saturday's update on the US National MTB Championships!
Spokane Rocket Velo is proud to crown a new US National Champion! In the Jr. Beginner Women 14-under category, our own Sarah Clifton raced the race of her life to take the top title in United States Mountain Biking! This means that both Sarah and SRV now have a stars and stripes jersey! Congratulations to her and to her Mom who braved the extra-long drive on her own to get here!
SRV also congratulates Shawn Letson on a strong 13th place finish out of the 33 finishers in his category. He raced one very long (27 miles) and hot (93 degrees) race in his best race of the year!
Liz Letson also finished her race, and took sixth place, only 20 seconds from claiming a podium finish! Congratulations Liz for a very strong showing on the course!
Don Anderson had some flat troubles and had to DNF the race on the last lap. We will see Don try to redeem himself SUnday in the Short Track competition!
As far as myself, I will also be trying to redeem myself Sunday by racing the short-track. It's my last shot at the stars ans stripes for this year. I will report on the rest of the results Sunday night from my home in Spokane, WA!
Until then, Mark Out. ;D
