Cube Recap

     Today was a great day for cyclocross with cool temperatures and bright clear skies.  All in all, I think it was a pretty successful year for the Cube.  The numbers fell short of our expectations, but the depth of talent and the overall quality of the event were outstanding.  Tate’s course was fast fun, and challenging. It takes a little imagination, but the Nature Park is a great venue for cyclocross.   Several people commented to me and Tate afterward that this was one of the best cross races they have done anywhere.  We owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who raced today as well as Tony, Zac, and all the people who helped set up the course and City Rec Director Bob Yeatman who took a chance on the Cube again.  We had a lot of support from Joe at Sticks and Stones and Brandon at Bill’s Bike Shop.  Brandon got on the phone and helped motivate a bunch of the Idaho Falls guys to come up. Both shops were very generous in terms of prizes.  Chris Huskinson supplied our signature prize, bags of new potatoes. Brian Williams donated the top raffle prize, a custom bike fit.  We also received support from the Rexburg College of Massage Therapy and other local businesses.

     The field consisted of locals, a strong showing from Idaho Falls, and riders from Jackson and Pocatello.  I talked to Bob afterward and we feel like the Cube has real potential to build back its momentum.  I think we put on a top quality event this year and hopefully that word will get around.  It is probably not a big surprise that Tate won today, but nobody made it easy for him.  There is a ton of video and photos from the race.  We will try to get more of it posted here and on the Cube website.  http://sarahsis88.wix.com/cube  In the meantime here are a couple of images from the Cube.
