Wow....double wow....triple wow!
What a race weekend. It was truly amazing as our club scored 54 GOLD MEDALS and set 25 records!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are very proud of our performance this weekend both "on and off" the track. 
How have things changed in the last four years in Arizona track racing? 
Just one example: In 2005 the fast MAN recorded a 12.9 second flying 200 time trial, this year, Gea Johnson (Master Woman 40-44) rode a 12.4 second 200 meter!

In addition to scorching performances, our group had a great time and showed wonderful sportsmanship throughout the entire, looong weekend. Congratulations to our riders and special thanks to our many volunteers and riders who made the event possible. 

Lisa is working hard a preparing the video and downloading the pictures and she will send out a note as soon as they are ready. Our preview revealed some great pics.
If you took pictures at the event and did not download the images to Lisa....please get them to her so they will be in order in the flickr acct.
