Cyclocross State Championships

The ACA State Championships for cyclocross took place at Monarch high school in Louisville, on Saturday and Sunday the 4th and 5th of December. Weather conditions were cool, the skies were mostly clear, and the predominantly grass course was dry as a bone. There were a couple of short rises, but for the most part, the course was flat and fast. A total of seven Green Mountain Sports racing team members raced over the weekend with the following results:

Brian Krombein finished in 14th place in the 35+ race.




Craig Hofer finished in 20th place in the 45+race.



Peter Lopez took 27th in the Cat. 3 race and 53rd in the 35+ race.
