MVC Crit on Sunday, May 6th, 2012 was a success.  122 riders came out on a reasonably sunny day, and we only had one small crash of a single rider swinging too wide on a turn and taking a solo tumble.  Scraped his back a bit, but nothing major.  MVC also had some impressive results in the races, especially Maggie and Jen soloing in for first and second in the women's cat 3/4.  Thanks to all the riders who came out, and thank you to all the club members who gave their time to make this race a success.

Overcast weather, and several flats and ruined tires, still did not dampen the fun of the ride, and a great picnic.  See the rest of the pics in the photo gallery.

Thanks everyone for a great season, we are all looking forward to some fun chilly winter training rides, just to start all the same fun again next year.

Kit redesign survey results will be posted soon, thanks to the 20 people who took the time to respond
