Another Lion of Fairfax has come and gone


Excuse the delayed post - I'm only now fully recovering from last Saturday's Lion of Fairfax CX race at White Hill Middle School. Late last Friday and early Saturday I was muttering "never again", but now am juiced up for next year's event.

Over 330 racers came out for the event, which also served as the first round of the newly revived NCNCA CX Cup. A HUGE thanks to the Nor Cal cycling community for coming out to support this good cuase - we helped raise a bunch of money for the school - with virtually no overhead (other than the hundreds of hours myself and the other volunteers logged!). An even bigger thanks to all the participants for putting up with our bumbling and stumbling with getting results posted. We promise to streamline this and the registration for next year.

Racing action on the 1.5 mile loop was nothing short of spectacular! Josh Snead (HRS Rock Lobster) scored a repeat victory in the elite men's event as did Rachel Lloyd (Proman / Paradigm) in the women's elite event - they each bagged a cool $500 for their performances.

Our own Big Swingin' Kid's team killed it in the kids' events, locking up 5 of the 10 podium spots, including 1st (Riley Venne) in the 10-13 cat. and 2nd (Sam Bruckner) in the 6-9 cat.
