CRFP concluded their week of cycling events at the World Police & Fire Games Yesterday in New York City. The games coincided with the 10th remembrance of 9/11, which participants thought would make it a truly memorable event. Unfortunately, hurricane Irene, and lack of planning by organizers, made it a memorable event for the wrong reasons. Events were originally planned to start August 27, but were postponed due to the hurricane.

The following is a letter sent to Alexandria Fire Chief Adam Thiel by Alex Wurm, M.D. who was badly injured in a crash during a MTB race at Wakefield Park. CRFP’s Jason Wehmeyer was in first place when he heard the crash behind him. He heard Dr. Wurm’s urgent cry for help and went back to assist.

Chuck Ryan and Tony Mills of CRFP rode in the US Air Force Cycling Classic Crystal Ride this morning in Arlington, VA. The course was a 7.5 mile loop around Crystal City, the Pentagon, and the Air Force Monument. The two completed 31.75 miles during the ride.

Dennis Short traveled to Leonardtown, MD for the 2011 Leonardtown Criterium. The course was a .7 mile loop through the streets of Leonardtown.
