Churney Gurney Race report
Not a bad day for NAV/BlueSkyBicycles at the Churney Gurney race in Queensbury NY.
Beautiful day for stop # 3 of the NYState MTB series in upstate NY. The race course at Gurney Lane was fast and flowy with just enough sustained climbs to hurt. Fast enough that a dropped chain or slight bobble put you 10 seconds back that was hard to recover from.
Our Team had great results for the day.
CAT 2
- Men 30-39 Kyle Konopnicki 1st
- Men 40-49 Todd ( Wrong turn) Shapiro 5th.
CAT 1
- Cat 1 Wormen 35+ Anna Laloe 1st
- Cat 1 Men 40-49 Zack Vogel 2nd, Jon Rowe 3rd
- Cat 1 Men 50+ Thierry Blanchet 5th, Rob Cosgriff 6th, Bob Burek 7th, Mark Bettinger 11th
Highlights -
Toddster fighting back for a 5th after downed race course markings lead to a missed turn.
Zack Vogel and Jon Rowe pushing to catch the Cat 1 leaders
Apparently someone named Mash was racing with my number and trying for Cat 1 50+ DFL.
