Oct. 21, 2002 – Cyclists on St Croix gathered at the Solitude Store on Sunday morning to battle the wind and hills on the East End.
Category A riders rode the 13 mile loop four times. Category B riders, with fresh legs, joined and challenged the Category A cyclists on their third lap in pursuit of first place. A group of Category C riders got a taste of the hills by riding one lap only.
The wind and heat were not enough to pull Jamie Keys from his first place position. Sue Brown, the only female to ride four loops, finished in second place, and Bill Gladfelter captured third place.
The next race will be Nov. 3 on South Shore Road and is open to cyclists of all abilities. Anyone interested in getting involved with cycling should contact Theresa Harper at 773-0079.
