Recap/Results

What a weekend! The BIKEIOWA Racing Team hosted one heck of an event at a new venue (the SANDs Volleyball Club). 

Sat weather was great and the course was FAST.  Within an hour of the Saturday races, mother nature dumped over an inch of rain on the course, so Sunday's Master's races started out a little sloppy, but the sandy ground tacked up nicely for the rest of the day.

The course was approx 1.7 miles long and included a great mix of tight-n-twisties int he woods and longer straight-aways for those power/recovery sections.

174 raced on Sat and 118 raced on Sunday. with over 200 spectators on Sat and at least 100+ on Sunday.

Oakley provided all prizes for Saturday and Oskar Blues Brewery provided prizes for Sunday!

THANKS to Oskar Blues Brewery, OAKLEY and Iowa Beverage for sponsoring the event
THANKS to Mike and his crew at the SANDs for making it a great venue
THANKS to the 515 Pi and Big Acai bowl food trucks for the great food
THANKS to the BIKEIOWA Racing Team for the vision and hard work to make this event a success.
THANKS to ALL the spectators and racers.
