Bump N Grind 2008- Justin



Bump N Grind has passed and blessed us with some good results:

1st- Stacey Davis- Sport Women 40-99
2nd- Larry Stanley- Sport Men 40-44
4th - Zach Davis- Sport Junior 18 & under
7th- Mike Herring- Sport 45-49
10th- Justin Poland- Sport 25-29
14th- Josh Powell- Sport 25-29

This year's race, on one the finest courses in the southeast, was very successful with over 500 riders in uniform. Weather was a bit humid with a high of 88. There was only one report of a dislocated shoulder but other than that, just scrapes and bruises.



Many Pro teams showed for the event: Trek/VW, Gary Fisher 29'er crew, Kenda/Titus/Hayes, Luna Chix and Sobe-Cannondale. Shonny Vanlandingham took the top spot for the Pro Women and Ryan Woodall took the top spot for the Pro Men. Unbelieveably fast riders! Jason Sagar was rumored to be making an appearance but DNS.



All age group races seemed to be larger than last year, making the single track parts harder to pass. So many riders at once really loosens the turns and crashes provide the entertainment. Flat tires were the plague this year, much more than last.



Thanks to BUMP and all the volunteers for the privilege of riding on this amazing course because of the work that they put forth and we look forward to next year's event.



Check out the results, photos and race reports. Thanks for reading!
