First race of the season- Sacramento CX race #1 , Napa Skyline park.

I have not ridden here since 2008 and that was a single speed MTB race. This is the first time I have heard about the park being used for CX and I'm glad there's another venue out there. 

We did not have a big group at this race but there were some good results. The standout would be Noah Hekkert winning the middle school boy's race-it was one of the larger fields of the day.

His father Carl got 5th in the men's 50+ A race.

I scored a rare podium in 3rd in the men's 60+ A race and Rick Ortenblad got 5th , even though he missed the start. He also did not have his timing chip on so he won't appear in the proper place in the results but trust me, he came in 5th.

Kailin Waterman rode to 12th in the men's A elite race , even with a bike change. 

Next stop- UCSC -all you Santa  Cruz team people should be there and help us put on this race....it will be historically significant as this is the 40th anniversary of the nationals being held there.
