Louisville USGP Derby City Cup Cyclocross Race

Jordan and I joined the Planet Bike Team in Louisville, KY for the 2nd weekend of USGP Cyclocross Events called the Derby City Cup. What a great venue and well run event. Not quite as big as the Planet Bike Cup, but still impressive.

Jordan won the Junior Men 15-16 convincingly both days. Both days were muddy, with Saturday being the worst. Jordan was able to finish both races without switching bikes. His margin of victory on Saturday was around 2.5 minutes. The course on Sunday was a little firmer and faster, with another fast junior joining the race, cutting his winning margin down to around 1.5 minutes. Congrats Jordan!

That makes it 4 for 4 at USGP events so far for Jordan. Too bad he can't make New Jersey and Portland, where many of the best juniors in the nation will be racing. We're a little traveled out at this point, and are racing local until Jingle Cross.

Saturday Podium - Drew Bercaw (3rd), Jordan (1st), French Kid (2nd)

Sunday Podium - Drew Bercaw (3rd), Jordan (1st), John Francisco (2nd)
