Bob's Red Mill / Rocky Mountain Sweeps Podium at Heath 'Cross!

The 2009 season got off to a great start for newly formed cyclocross team Bob’s Red Mill/Rocky Mountain as they filled the Heath Cross elite podium. The race took place east of Columbus, Ohio on a fast, grass course featuring multiple gravel sections and just enough elevation change.
The finishing order was determined quickly. In the first minutes of the race Mitchell Kersting moved off the front of the field through a sweeping right hand turn and never looked back. Mike Kennedy soon followed as the course turned off a gravel section and into a gradual climb. Third place finisher Chris Nevitt moved away from what was left of the field in an off camber section near the end of the first lap.

Mitchell Kersting is expected by many to be a contender for the OVCX overall title. He expressed his pleasure at the way the 2009 season is taking shape, “Things have come together nicely with the team. This is my first race on the Rocky Mountain and it felt really good. Mountain Bike Depot has made sure we have everything we need and Bob’s Red Mill is keeping us fueled for competition. We’ve got a good set up; that helps a lot.”

Bob’s Red Mill/Rocky Mountain will be racing the Kings CX weekend September 19th and 20th. Sunday is OVCX number one. “The OVCX is going to be very competitive this year. We know it’s going to be a big challenge and we’re looking forward to that,” offered Chris Nevitt.

Mountain Bike Depot & 'Cross Supply is very proud to be a part of this program! All of the team's sponsors are very excited to see the results for next weekend's OVCX opener!
