Smith Farm Cyclocross

Cat 123

Hunter took advantage of the nice weather and did the double today, racing the 123 and then the next race the cat3 event.

This stop in the Tobacco Valley series was another nice one. The Smith Farm offered plenty of elevation changes, smooth well-worn grass and just the right amount of mud. Flying thru an orchard was a nice departure for the cross season. Definitely plan on hitting this race if comes back on the schedule for next year.

Hunter, as usual, was able to start very fast, getting the holeshot in the 123 race and then settling into a group fighting for 3rd. He faded toward the end and rolled in at 7th. Likewise for the Cat3 race, a fast start was hard to keep up with one race already in the legs. After riding solidly in 2nd all race, he had a tough last lap and finished 6th.
