MVC & Walburg

The real Texas racing season starts tomorrow at the Walburg Classic, and “classic” is an apropos title. Walburg is usually a battle of attrition... 24 mile loops run on narrow farm country roads in a predominately east/west direction. There are a fair number of rollers on the loop (including ah uphill finish), but the attrition is almost always weather driven - cold, windy, wet – often all three. None of those conditions are on the forecast for tomorrow though, but the prediction here is that the forecast will be wrong... out on a limb, yes, but it’s a pretty sturdy limb.

MVC will have a presence in 5 of the fields:

Borski, Haga, Munroe and Rigby will take on a 75 rider strong Cat 3 field;

Michael “Hammer” Caney will fly solo in the a surprisingly small Cat 4 field, not that 59 racers is all that small, especially on the narrow roads of Walburg, but a 59 rider Cat 4 field, at Walburg?!?;

Nokki and Tim Kolb (making his MVC race debut) will tackle the 35+ 4/5 race;

Adams, 1 of our P. Burkes, “Country” Davidson, Powers, Price, and Weber will battle 36 others in the 40+ filed; and

Brownie will join an extremely strong 49 racer P, 1 field.

Best of luck to all our MVC racers for strong, safe racing! Stay tuned for reports.
