Keith Walberg sends this report: All five travelers in the "Tilford Van" competed in yesterdays "Jingle Cross Rock" cyclocross races in Iowa City and all five finished "in the money" with good results.The headline for the Topeka crew was Steve Tilford’s solo victory in the Elite men’s race. Tilford finshed more than two minutes ahead of Discovery rider Jason McCartney and team mate. Shad Smith.
In the women’e elite race Catherine Walberg finshed a close second to Minnesota’s Linda Sone.
Other strong finishes among van mates include Bill Stolte winning the masters 30+ race, Keith Walberg’s 4th place in men’s B, and Trudi Rebsamen’s 6th in the elite women’s event.
It was a fun and fast course with 90% of the race on Iowa University’s nicely manicured cross country running park.
