Root 66 Series Race #5: Domnarski Farm


Ricky, finishing with a smile
This past Sunday was the fifth race in the Root 66 series - Domnarski Farm.  There were new faces, more podiums, and some expansive mud puddles to play in. 

Domnarski is a mix of technical climbing, fast rocky double track, some fun twisty singletrack, and a couple of interesting wet spots*.  It's a well-run race, and the Domnarskis are more than welcoming, with a bike wash and pond to swim in afterward open to all.  It's also one of the only races to reward racers with straight-up cash.  Despite three flats, one superman, and some impromptu tree encounters, the CEC team ended the day with twelve top-five finishes. 

*'Floating skinnies, short rock bridges, and puddles you couldn't necessarily see the bottom of this time around post-rain.  Spicy!
Royce, tearing it up
Sean Rudzinsky laid down the power in his first mountain bike race, and won the men's Cat 2 30-39 race with a sub-hour lap.

New team members Tina and Brett Severson brought big smiles and killer legs.  Tina took 1st in the women's Cat 2 19-34 category, and Brett was 5th of 43 men in Cat 2 30-39.  Welcome, guys!  



Jen was poised for a 3rd place finish in Cat 2 ladies when she got rad airing out around the Tree of Death, and flatted.  Never a quitter, she fixed it up, and finished just one spot behind in 4th. Badass.


Jen and Pam, looking good crossing the line
