We had our first Ladies Night of 2010 tonight and saw an increase in women riders, which we’re always glad to see. It was our biggest night of the year so far and the racing was great. Our good friends, trusted sponsors and excellent fabric fashioners f3 Designs were there with a table of cycling caps. Their wool caps will keep you warm in the winter and cool-looking in the summer, and they’ll be out again after a few weeks with some merch, so give them a look then if you missed them today.

Our cyclocross and MTB Open race was tighter than usual, with Andy Lee and Tristan Uhl getting the better of the small groups they rode with for most of the race. Manny Gellegos and WileyMosley won the mountain bike and cyclocross races, respectively, and Stacy Liddle was the best placed woman in the Intermediate category. On the Beginner side of things, Sean Ahmadi won the MTB race, John Conner won in cross and Jennifer Taylor led the women.

Want your name up there for the cylocross results? Well then perhaps you should’ve been out at the Violet Crown hosted skills clinic this week. These guys have been dismounting and scrambling up hills for a while now and they’re happy to show you how it’s done. Missed it this week? They’ll be out again next week at 5:30 to help you hone your skills. A win doesn’t mean much if you look silly hopping over the barriers. But then again, if you look silly hopping over them you probably aren’t winning anyway.

It was another great night out at the Dirt Derby. We’ll have another Ladies Night in November, and we’ll be racing until then, so thanks for coming out this week and we hope to see ya’ll next week.
