474 Racers showed up for the final Cross race of the 2009 Chicago Cross Cup Series. This final race is also the IL State Championship race for 2009. The snow held off but the temps were cool in the 30's with a steady brisk breeze for the last shot. Montrose Harbor offers lots!! of sandy terrain, some elevation, and great views of the city and the lake. In order of appearance: Jeff Provisor in the Masters 40+ scores some points for the team and himself with a 29th place finish at the IL State Championship. Mark McNeill in the masters 50+ has a strong race defending his top 20 series standing but suffers a mechanical forcing a DNF. Mark finishes 18th in his class for the series, nice job Mark. In the Mens 4a Cameron Pease and John Hoffman line up to attack the deeply rutted sand with John finishing 13th in the race and 15th for the series, Cameron puts down a solid 40th in a State Championship race of 73 starters. Mark Moller did not race but placed 19th for the series in the Masters 30+. Ten races in 12 weeks couldn't be more fun. Team NBC finished 34th of 89 teams. Hope to better that next year by adding some more NBCs to the roster. Special Thanks to Ted from Blue Competition Cycles for his support and especially our sponsor Jeff Provisor of Mainstreet Bikes for tons of hours dedicated to the Cross Cup Series. 280 days til we to "Do it in the Dirt"!
