A couple of big hills and tight turns were in store for the FCYCT-The Scarlet Knights at the WORS #7 race of the season. The course was dry and dusty during Saturdays pre-ride and but was in great shape after a light overnight rain made for fast conditions. Jacob continued his strong season with a second place in his age group and second place overall in the 14 and under age group. Aaron and Ben returned to racing this week with strong showings of 2nd and 9th in the 11-12 year old age group. After a weekend of struggling to find his rhythm in Franklin Cole bounced to break the top ten overall and take 4th in his age group. Dylan and Grant both fought back after a rough start in the starting gate to secure team points finishing 19th and 32nd. Katy broke the top ten in the female 14 under age group with a 10th place finish and best of all she appeared to not have any battle scares this week. In a finish that had fans standing and cheering on the last hill Daniel again battled a fellow age group competitor to finish in 9th place.
