Greetings -

The Richard Sachs Cyclocross Team had a very successful weekend.
We traveled to the Mid-Atlantic region and raced both days. All of us were
in Wilmington, Delaware on Saturday for the Grenogue Cross, an event
with both UCI C1 and Verge MAC point series status. In the Men's Elite race,
Jon Hamblen and Justin Spinelli had great finishes and were 10th and 17th
respectively. In the Women's Elite race, Alicia Hamblen and Amy Wallace
were 19th and 27th.

On Sunday, most of us traveled to Ludwig's Corner, Pennsylvania for the
Wissahickon Cross, a UCI C2 and Verge MAC point series event. Our
notable result at that venue was Justin Spinelli's 17th place finish. While
the New England crowd was in Brandywine country, Alicia and Jon traveled
home to North Carolina and rode the first event in the NC CROSS SERIES,
where they each won their respective races in the Elite categories. Bravo,
Alicia and Jon!!

The RS 'Cross Team always loves the road trips to the Mid-Atlantic region
because 'cross is always fun there and the MAC events are always so well
organized. That MAC contingent can really throw a great party atmo*. While
there, we had the good fortune to get in the lens of ace picshooter, Dennis
Smith. Here are a few links to weekend images courtesy of Dennis' site:

I have to keep this email brief because I am on a borrowed 'puter.
Until next time...
