On a brisk, windy, dry fall day in South-central Pennsylvania, 100
racers competed in the 2nd Annual Volkswagen Iron Cross race. The
course for America's longest cyclocross race included 62 miles of road,
fireroad, singletrack, long rocky run-ups, gnarly descents, and a true
'cross course to start and end the race. The race also featured 6500+
feet of grueling climbing.
Despite the difficult race course and some directional difficulties, a
strong podium emerged by the end of the day. The men's race was won by
Jeremiah Bishop (Trek/VW/Sara Laser) in 4 hours 14 minutes and 8
seconds, followed by Chris Eatough (Trek/VW), and Gerry Pflug (SciFit,
Dirty Harry's/Go Rocket). Bishop also won the KOM competition and
survived a late-race road crash that cost him some skin. Eric Roman
(Independent Fabrication) was the first place single speed racer.
Deirdre Winfield (Charlottesville Racing Club) repeated as women's
champion with a time of 5 hours, 35 minutes, and 31 seconds, followed by
Mandy Lozano (Kona/Easton/CCA), and Erin Garvin (Unattached). The
women's QOM competition was won by Elizabeth Sheldon of Tokyo Joe's.
A 10 km (+ a few k's!) running event was held in conjunction with the
bike race. In keeping with the Iron Cross spirit, the race included
gravel paths, rooty, rocky trails, a stream crossing, and a couple of
laps of the 'cross course. The winner of the men's race was Ed Boardman
(Yellow Breeches Racing), followed by Spencer Rennels (Boiling Springs
HS CC) and Jason McDermott (Boiling Springs HS CC). The women's race
was won by Dr. Kirsten Guss (Yellow Breeches Racing), followed by
Jennifer McCartney (Yellow Breeches Racing), and Elizabeth Hunter.
Iron Cross was sponsored by the Volkswagen Dealers of South Central PA,
Carlisle Family YMCA, Accelerade, Inside Track, Psycho Lube, Sock Guy,
Memphis Blues Restaurant, Dr. Casey J. Williams DDS, and Galbraith
Pre-Design. The race was a fundraiser for the Carlisle Family YMCA.
