-
Members
from
the
CRFP
Cycling
team
made
the
3
1/2
hour
trip
to
Hazelton
,
WV
for
the
18th
Annual
24
Hours
of
Big
Bear
Mountain
Bike
Race.
More
than
600
riders
made
up
174
teams
for
the
annual 24
hour
relay
race.
This
was
the
first
time
CRFP
Cycling
competed
as
a
team
in
the
race,
and
for
two
of
the
5
team
members,
it
was
their
first
mountain
bike
race
ever.
The
highly
technical
13
mile
course
was slippery
and
physically
challenging
due
to
the
6"
of
rain
the
area
received
within
a
month
of
the
race.
CRFP
team
members
completed
11
laps
in
24
hours,
traveling
a
distance
of
140.8
miles,
and
climbing
a
total
of
17,930
feet
in
elevation.
They
finished
95th
out
of
174.
The
team
is
looking
forward
to
expanding
it's
participation
in
this
National
level
race
next
year.
Having
learned
a
lot,
and
eager
to
improve,
all
members
who
participated
this
year
have
vowed
to
return
in
2010.
