The BBQ preceded a few fantastic rounds of bike derby in Erickson field. Cheers to all who came.
Good job to all the UMBC Club members who participated in the AFC Sugar Hill mountain bike race yesterday (5/Apr). Special congratulations for Dan Atkins, taking the top spot on the podium of the single speed division, finishing 6 minutes ahead of the nearest competitor. Full results can be found at bikereg.com Pictures have been uploaded by Marshall to flickr.com Thanks again to the guys at AFC (adventuresforthecure.com) for organizing a great event. Marshall represents UMBC at O’Hill Meltdown (15-March-2009) taking first in the beginner men’s category! Photo courtesy of expmars (flickr.)
 The Navy Crit took place this morning. The weather was cold and humid with a brisk wind pushing from behind down the start/finish straight away. The rain from the night before had mostly cleared off the course, save for a few standing puddles at the far end of the straight away, along the water line. Race organizers had done a very good job sweeping debris from the course, especially on the unforgiving hair pin turn. For Class D UMBC was represented by Andrey and Mike C. Three riders, Andrey and 2 Pfeiffer (PU) riders, seperated from the pack early and maintained their lead to the end. One PU rider from the lead group took a spill at the technical turn at the base of the descent, he rejoined the group after taking a free lap and helped PU to edge out Andrey in the final sprint. Andrey’s second place finish marks the first points for UMBC in the ACCC 2009 standings. UPDATE: Full Results Time: Friday, 13 Feb, 3:30pm Distance: 17.5 miles Pace 16 mph Climbing: 1350 ft Particapants: Mike P., Marshall (they split off to do more climbing up College Ave) also Mike C., and Ray Comments: Good amount of climbing, the trees around Potabsco offered much appreciated shelter from the wind. Met up with Pat and Adam from AFC on the way back through the park, rode up Gun Rd and back to UMBC with them. Full Schedule can be seen on the right (Calendar) or at http://collegiatecycling.org/. We are in the Atlanic conference. For the first event there is a $19 fee to register and it is limited to 50 participants in each division.
