CRMC Iron Cross VI Is History!

Woo-Hoo!

On a spectacular, warm Autumn day in Michaux State Forest, a record
290 riders tackled the Carlisle Regional Medical Center Iron Cross VI
race - America's longest cyclocross race.

When the dust had settled, there were new winners in all race
categories except for one.

Chris Beck (Gary Fisher/Joe's Bike Shop) improved on his Iron Cross V
runner-up position and captured the overall and Senior Men win. Andy
Applegate, (Kobold Watches/Cannodale), riding his 6th Iron Cross,
repeated as winner of the Master Men category. Betsy Shogren
(Visitpa.com/SoBe/Cannondale), riding her first Iron Cross, won the
Women's race and Betsy's ruggedly handsome husband Gunnar (also
Visitpa.com/SoBe/Cannondale) won the Singlespeed race on his way to
finishing 7th overall.

In the Sara M. Laser Team Cup competition, Visitpa.com/SoBe/Cannondale
prevailed, relegating last year's winner, True North Cycles, to 2nd
place.

A huge thank you to the Carlisle Regional Medical Center, our other
race sponsors, our fine crew of race volunteers, our safety personnel
and radio crew, the Carlisle Family YMCA, and 290 hard-core racers!

See you in 2009!
