Team CCR had a busy weekend taking on the 1st edition of the Cyclisimo Criterium in downtown Birmingham and Attack on Swayback Mountain Bike race in Prattville, Al.
The weekend kicked off with the team getting to race on freshly paved streets in downtown Birmingham. The race was centered around a weekend celebration of heritage at the Birmingham International Center. Todd Pope, Todd Topeano, and Larry Stanley carried CCR's colors into battle while racing in the Cat 5 race. Larry had Lady Luck and momentum on his side, and cruised home with a hottly contested 8th place finish.
Sunday saw Larry and Justin heading down to Prattville to race in the Attack On Swayback mountain bike race. Swayback is a tight, technical trail that tests a riders endurance and bike control over the rocky and rooted 8.7 mile course. Justin was first out of the gates racing in the Men's 20+ sport class. Justin's hard off season effort paid off with an 8th place finish, and bettering his time from last year by 4 minutes. Larry did not miss a beat from Saturday and tamed the wild beast bringing home a victory in the Men's 40+ sport class.
Congratulations to Larry on his 1st victory of the season.
