Cross Country Bike Event at Lacoochee's Stanley Park by Richard K. Riley
This was the first day of a Cross Country Bike Event at Lacoochee's Stanley Park. It ran all day, and will run tomorrow, Sunday, also. Good, dry trails and lots of up and down variety. Ten minute lap for those who lead. Forever for those who don't (smile). Last photo is of Bob Shipley, Park Attendant I, from Dade City / Ridge Manor. He is the new park employee assigned to this park last month and worked with the event staff in developing and building the track.
Registration. Start of the first heat. The only time they were together. They then strung out so that the leaders were lapping the slower ones. Downhill second lap just before a big slip and damaged bike. (another rider). Sand trap around the playground on Stanley Park. Live oak scenic path. Kevin Carter, winner of the Masters 35+ heat. Start of the second heat. Bob Shipley, Park Attendant I, from Dade City / Ridge Manor. He is the new park employee assigned to this park last month and worked with the event staff in developing and building the track.
