The end of a long season and a ton of fun is capped off in style with the points unveiling.
After carefully tallying up the points and deliberating on a few riders for sandbagging (no names) it’s a great honor and, indeed, a a ton of fun to reveal the final points standings from the Cross the Bay Cyclocross Series presented by Einstein Cycles and North Country Cycle Sport.
After four big races stretching way back to September, the series was a rather happy success. More than a few riders made names for themselves with gutsy days in the saddle, even if they could only make one stop. Bennett Paul’s (Einstein Racing) duel with Ross Gibbs (NCCS) at the Breezeway Cross set the tone for a hotly contested season of B racing, and at the same race, Chad Wells and John Cowan showed their might against Jorden Wakeley.
The points honors the racers who were consistently good and consistently there, and showing up is more than half the battle. Here’s a look at the final standings:
