Sheer and Much dominate
|
The 7th stop of the Chicago Cyclo-cross Cup travelled to the village of Northbrook, a suburb north of Chicago. The race brought out the dedicated to mix it up in the treacherous 'cross conditions. The mud filled course caused many of the riders to hit the deck multiple times. The culprit was a section near and around the stair case run-up section that got worse as the day went on. The muddy course had no barriers; however, the two-stair run-up was enough to keep the heart beats well elevated. The temperatures hovered around 30 degree Fahrenheit on a damp and partly cloudy day.
Elite Men
In the Elite Men’s race, Mike Sheer (Pony Shop) made the trip down from Indianapolis to school the locals. He pressed on the gas early and got away very quickly. He was followed by yet another out-of-state visitor, James Lalonde (Ellis Cycles) of Wisconsin taking 2nd, with locals Scott McLaughlin (Sram) 3rd, Kevin Klug (Killjoy) 4th and Luca Lenzi (Pony Shop) rounding out the podium.
