Beautiful
skies and cool temperatures greeted racers
and spectators at the First Annual Rosendale Cyclocross race. Table Rock Tours and
Bicycles sponsored this event which was held
on Sunday, November 11 at the Rosendale
Recreation Center Park.
The event kicked off
at 10 am with the 35 plus age group tackling
the serpentine, technical mile and a half
loop. Jorge Hernandez immediately took
control of the race and established a
formidable lead during the early laps. The
race finished after eight laps with Jorge
keeping his lead and winning the event.

The next group to
line up was the Men’s B race; again the race
was fast and furious from the gun. Local
cross racer, Patrick Clifford, built an
early lead but by half way through the race
he was joined by two other competitors. The
last lap was exciting with the three
separated by less than 30 seconds with David
Wilson and Greg Martin going one, two.

through the field and beat out William Keith for his second
place finish.

plus age group, juniors, and the women’s
group. Tara Parsons attacked from the gun
and won the race handily. The race for
second, third and forth was much more
interesting with Michelle Moffat, Kim
Tischler, and Stacey Beneke battling it out
and finishing in that order. Gary Toth won
the 55 plus race while his son, Joe Toth got
by Joe McNalls to win the junior event.
