Sunday's OVCX finale saw some serious wheel-clogging conditions and several places where riders were required to run through boggy, ankle-deep mud. Bloomington swept the open women's categories with Lindsay Rodkey winning Cat 4, Sarah Fredrickson winning Cat 3, and Elizabeth Cobb winning Cat 1/2. A final OVCX Messer-Rose battle ensued in the Elite Men's wave, ending with Messer in fifth and Rose in sixth overall.
When the OVCX series awards were handed out at the end of the day, five of the coveted beer steins went home to Bloomington. Series championships went to Lindsay Rodkey in the Cat 4 Open women, Andy Messer in the Elite Men's 35+, and Fred Rose in the Elite Men's 45+. Sarah Fredrickson took second in the Women's Cat 3, and Elizabeth Cobb took third in the Women's 1/2.
All of this begs the question, are there any Little 5 ladies willing to step up and keep Bloomington's female CX dominance going in next year's Cat 4 series?
Results from the Kings CX Weekend races are up on Truesport.com, the OVCX final standings should be up soon.
There is still nearly a month of racing left for the Indiana CX Cup, which will have double race weekends for the next two weeks and conclude with a series finale party on December 31st. The next month will also be critical for our newly crowned Midwest Masters Champions as they prepare to move beyond the Midwest and take on the nation and the world in January.

where is the love?
Anyone referencing Lady Gaga has to be Atwell.
agreed
competition in the ovcx seems to be a little weaker than in years past
Indybike- it is true...to a degree. Much of the top end of the Elite races were doing more national level races than in year's passed. This as I understand it was the idea behind combining the Elite Masters w/ the Elite Men. So that the Masters would have a higher level of competition when they go to bigger races, which many of them did. But there was pretty much 1-2 heavy hitters at every race. It wasn't an off year by any stretch.
Actually its pretty much the same line up as last year. As far as field strength, the USAC rating algorithm for this seasons races say something different. The fields were much bigger this year which added a much needed dimension. There are plenty of ICX races left there Indybike. You're welcome to join us.
hoosiers!

Todd is better at everything you do. Typically when someone is better than someone else, they start trying to put the other person down to make themselves feel better. Why do you hate yourself so much Anonymous person? Todd is even better at making ridiculous insults than you. You fail at life but good luck in Little 5, and your upcoming wreck. Try to get lapped less than 3 times.
@10:15 - my thoughts?
Nicely done Fred and others!
I know I said that already but I guess you missed it.
Thank you Todd for your thoughts.
