Melting Mann race report

What a great race!  No one would ever have known that this was the first edition of this race put on by fellow CMSer Mark Wright.  Way to go dude!  The volunteers were super helpful, the swag and race prizes were awesome.  The post race brews and lunch totally hit the spot.  What will next year bring????

Well hopefully next year it will really be the Melting Mann because it was definitely not Melting this year.  The day before it had snowed, blanketing the course in 3 inches of newly fallen snow, not ideal conditions for a bike race.  Those who chose non-studded tires were in for a day of slipping and sliding.

CMS had a great showing on the podium.  Check out these results....
