Andy Ballard Equestrian Center
Draper - October 24, 2009

Neither rain, nor thorns, nor skipping chain rings could stop the UMB Cross Team. 13 UMB riders hit the Draper course in 6 different categories to post our strongest showing of the season.

Left: Bruce lights the trail on fire as he rides rides through the leaf barren trees.

Men A: UMB Cross Team had no Men A riders!

Women A: UMB Cross Team had no Women A riders!

Masters Men 35+ A: UMB Cross Team had no Men 35+ A riders!

Masters 45+:

Left: Jay Griffin reaches the top of the hill as he rides
off to a 2nd place finish.

Right: Cyclocross is great for fans and
spectators. With a shorter track
and more laps, one can
see their riders go
by multiple
times.

Masters 55+:

Left: Joel Quinn sets up before he
jumps the barrier as he moves
ahead to 5th place.

Right: Bruce Argyle steps over the
barrier and starts up the hill
as he runs his way
to 8th place.

Single Speed: UMB Cross Team had no Single Speed riders!

Men B:

Left: After a short sip, Justin Griffin tosses
the bottle to the side as he rides into
6th place.

Right: Eric Ellis showed up to this cross race as a
spectator. However, after Dan lent him his helmet,
Mike lent him his jersey and shoes, Jason lent him his
shorts, and Bruce lent him his bike, Eric rode
hard to take 11th. There is no better place
to watch a cross race than from the
cockpit of a bicycle...

Above: many riders enjoyed home made chicken noodle soup complements of Jason and Marsha.

Center: After recovering from a flat, Stephen Brown
rounds the barrel in the sandpit as he rides to 26th place.

Jay and Darren head out for another lap.

Women B: UMB Cross Team had no Women B riders!

Masters Men 35+ B:

With his bike shouldered,
Darren Harris charges up the

monogrammed cow bells to ring as the
riders go by, and fill with dirt until
they come by again.
