2011 Fat Tire Classic

Ray, Judson, Glenn & Collen getting ready for the start.

The CBR team headed down to Farmington CT for the Fat Tire Classic on Sunday April 17th.  All and all it was a pretty good spring day.  Sunny with a little breeze and not too hot.  This being our first time at this race venue we were pleasantly surprised.  The Winding Trails course was really nice and very similar to the Franklin Falls.  A mix of double track and single track.  The trails weren't very technical, but the mud did suck your tires in pretty good.  There was a nice short steep hill climb toward he end of each lap.

Klye flying through the feed zone!

I think the Clark Brothers Racing Team did very well considering none of us have ever raced the Fat Tire Classic before, and this being the first race of the 2011 season.  Oh yeah, and Colleen Raiche, Glenn Raiche, Ray Webber, Judson Belmont, Anthony Catauro and Larry Webber just moved up to Cat 2 from Cat 3!  I would have to say though, the best part of the day was seeing Judy Webber out there racing after not being able ride or train for months due to injury.  That was AWESOME!  Way to go Judy!

Pretty good results for the first race!
