Huntsville was a huge success!  Thanks  to the Spring City Cycling Club for putting on a fabulous race weekend.  Their support of women’s racing and especially cat4s was greatly appreciated!  The courses were interesting & safe, the volunteers were friendly & encouraging, and the whole weekend was FUN.  Next year will be even bigger & better.  Stay tuned–results will be posted soon!
