Klug and Dust climb to success to take Chicago Cyclocross Cup #3
Atypical cyclocross weather once again was around for the Chicago Cyclocross Cup #3 that had enthusiasts travel to Hawthorn Woods, a Chicago suburb. Sun and temperatures in the high 70s greeted the racers in this installment.
The race course was not designed for the faint at heart. The hilly course had racers going up and down a toboggan hill multiple times within each race segments coupled with a muddy section, off camber and fast asphalt sections. Thus, another key ingredient was to have brought some climbing legs and an arsenal of gearing. It was a twist since flatter courses are more the norm in Illinois.
Elite Men
Kevin Klug (Killjoy) brought his top-notch fitness and won. He was followed by Wayne Simon (Verdigris Custom Homes) and Scott McLaughlin (Sram).
Elite Women
Debbie Dust (Verdigris Custom Homes) took the women’s division in her first outing this season. She was followed by teammate June Upshaw (Verdigris Custom Homes) and Holly Klug (Killjoy) in third place.
Upcoming Events
Racing continues with the Chicago Cyclocross Cup Race #4 scheduled for Carpentersville, Illinois on Sunday, October 19. The event dubbed the OktoberCross Festival will feature all day racing, music, food fun rides for the kids and a beer garden.
