Saturday was a fantastic for the Crosswind Classic in the Scott/Keo area.  The day was sunny and warm and there was a huge turnout for this road race. 

I watched and took photos during the event.  There were a few little hitches ... but for a first time event I think most spectators and participants enjoyed the event. 

There were a few crashes that I'm sure caused some pain (Yale ... hope you are doing better) and the ensuing costs of bike repairs (Jerry you may need an open ended account at the bike shop). 

There were also some problems with the course due to some classes not having a lead vehicle and the course not being marked well enough to keep everyone on course.  It is the participants ulimate responsibility to know the course, but it is my understanding that the course had to be changed at the last minute due to some road problems. 

This did upset the final standings in the Womens CAT IV group as a girl that had been dropped ended up finishing ahead of the main field that had dropped her earlier and then took a wrong turn.  So Jo & Donna ended up with a great sprint for 2nd place.

You got to love that shirt!!!
