October 18 - On a beautiful fall day in Central Pennsylvania, 73 racers competed in
the Iron Cross - the inaugural edition of America's longest cyclocross race. With a
course featuring a traditional 'cross layout to begin and end the race and a 53 mile
main loop with nearly 6,000 feet of climbing, racers had a very, very hard day. The
demanding, rocky terrain of Michaux State Forest took its toll, with many riders
slowed by flat tires and punishing climbs.
When the dust settled, Trek/VW/JBL pro Chris Eatough had captured the Men's race (and
the KOM title) with a time of 3:30:03. Eatough was followed by Andy Applegate (Kona/Easton/CCA)
and Paul Buschi (Meadow Ridge Farm).
In the women's race, Diedre Winfield of Extreme Sports captured the QOM title and
finished in first place, with a time of 4:28:27. Winfield was followed by Cara
McCauley (Asheville Bicycle Racing) and Jen Boxer.
The race organizers wish to thank the Carlisle Family YMCA, Galbraith Pre-Design,
Land Rover of Harrisburg, Dr. Drew Wellmon, PA DCNR, PA DOT, South Mountain Repeaters,
Yellow Breeches EMS, and our wonderful race volunteers.
