ZAP!!

Ok, we'll try to recap the past two working events quickly:

Tour of the Hilltowns:

A New England classic that's been running in various forms for almost 20 years. This was the NCC's 9th or 10th time running the event, and for us it's a pretty easy day- show up early and set out all the signs and cones, then drive back around and pick them up. Since the race is a single 55 mile loop, we never really get to see any of the race- we're either in front or behind the riders the whole time.

So imagine our surprise when halfway around the pick-up loop we encountered "Road Closed" signs and fire trucks that weren't there two hours earlier when we set out the course.... Turns out the massive winds had brought down some trees and power lines just before the first races arrived at that point in the course! Fortunately everyone quickly worked to figure out a shortcut (that involved some sketchy dirt road) and got the riders back on track. Seems like 'cross season gets here earlier and earlier!

Keith Berger Memorial:

After doing the equipment for Hilltowns, it was back to the results gig at the Keith Berger Memorial Criterium in Hartford CT. Fortunately it was a lot less windy than Hilltowns, so everything went smoothly- no trees or powerlines, just good old fashioned sprinting. It was a great course with some exciting racing and they raised a fair bit of money for charity as well. Good job Guys!!
