Congrats!!!!


Congrats to all the Alpenrose 6 Day Racers!!!
The 6 day finished on Saturday under beautifully clear skies, with lots of SUN & HEAT!!!
Some thrive in the heat and others wilt. Since we have not had a lot of heat this year. It seem like most of the group was going a little slower on the last day. But there is no better way to finish an event. Hope everyone who was out there remembered the sun screen cause the glare of the track is like being up on a glacier.
If you want to check out more action of what happened at the six day via photo's check out Ed Norton and as I see it. http://web.mac.com/stoppingtime/Site/Welcome.htm
This 6 day event was special for several reason. The Third ever all women 6 day in 99 years. Plus the fact that it was FIAC National Madison Championships for the elite men & women fields. Stephen Beardsley & Mark Blackwelder of Gentle Lovers walked away with the Title for the Elite men. Miranda Moon (Veloforma/Zym) & Jennifer Triplett(Broadmark Elite Track Team) riding for Veloforma took home top honors for the women!!!
Miranda and Jennifer - On the top step, showing off there new National Champ Jersey!!! Special thanks also goes out to Larry Kohn at Assos for there generous donation of Custom Assos Madison Jerseys to the winners of each field. Way, way cool. You can check out the super cool kits here http://www.assos.com/en/sixdays/
