Bump and Grind's Sweet 16.......

On an unseasonably hot and humid day, six CC Racers participated in the sixteenth annual Bump n Grind mountain bike race at Oak Mountain State Park. Bump n Grind is presented by the active local club, Birmingham Urban Mountain Bike Pedalers and is the 4th Southeast qualifier for the Kenda Cup. The world-class quality of the trails and popularity of the race bring several hundred racers to the venue from all over the United States. Thus, the fields for Bump n Grind are very competitive. We had six team members participate in this year's Bump n Grind, and all of them netted top ten finishes.

Larry Stanley achieved one of his long-standing dreams to place first in his category, Men's Sport 45-49, at his hometown race.

Josh Powell placed 2nd in Men's Sport 25-29 - a very strong finish.

Hardwick Gregg grabbed a podium spot in third place in the Men's Expert 50+ race.

Mike Herring also took the honor of a 3rd place podium in the Men's Sport 50-59 race.
Mitch Moses took 6th in the Men's Sport 45-49 category and Justin Poland placed 8th in the Men's Sport 25-29 class.

Congratulations to all of our guys in green at the Bump n Grind 2010! Strong work on the dirt!
