What a great weekend for an event! The weather with temps in the low 70s was perfect. Trampas and Sherri Parker laid out a classic, well arrowed 6.6-mile course with a little bit of everything—woods, rocks, grass track, and creek crossings. For the first time ever, we tried a three-day format. On Friday, both Vintage and Post Vintage raced in the afternoon. In the Vintage race, Gary Broyles took overall honors followed closely by Keith Williams. A newcomer to AHRMA, ISDT rider Suzy Moody rode in the Post Vintage Women Expert class. There was a large contingent of Novice riders which was good to see. I don't normally get to ride with anyone, so it was nice to ride with Randy Holdford, Post Vintage 200 Novice, for almost the entire race. The Post Vintage race was won by Fred Hoess followed by Jonathan Campbell and Terry Cunningham. Perhaps the closest race was in the Post Vintage 60+ Intermediate class with Terry Frohnapfel beating Jim Radcliff by nine seconds to take the win. 28

Saturday morning, the Post Vintage riders geared up again. This time Terry Cunningham took the overall win followed by Fred Hoess and Rick Parker. An even closer race in the Post Vintage 60+ Intermediate class ended with Bill Malec beating Jeff DeBell by only four seconds. Sunday morning, on the Vintage start line, two special awards were presented. The Tommy McDermont award for outstanding Vintage Cross Country rider was given to Thom Kuhns. The Tony Hendon award for outstanding Post Vintage Cross Country rider was given to Terry Cunningham. Keith Williams scored the overall win with Bruce MacFarlane on a Classic Hodaka less than a minute behind. Shelia Monk won the Post Vintage Women Expert class. I hope a lot of the novices enjoyed their last race. I see a bunch of yellow stripes being handed out. Congratulations! Of course, no event is possible without a lot of work by a lot of people. Many thanks to Trampas, Sherri, their entire family, the City of Henryetta, and the many who volunteered.
