2014 FORC Time Trial Series

[Vittetoe761]

We had another solid turnout, great weather, and fast trails for Round 5 of the 2014 FORC Time Trial Series at Illiniwek Forest Preserve. The course consisted of a clockwise south loop (up the steep climb!) followed by a counterclockwise north loop, topped off by a second clockwise south loop (again, up the steep climb for good measure). The battle at the front of the pack continues to rage on with Chris Scott taking his 4th (!!!) win in a row, followed by Kings, and Struck came in 3rd. Nick Eckerman has been improving with every race this summer and put in a very solid effort for 4th place, and Russ rounded out the top 5. Kings and Struck were tied for the points lead heading into Round 5, and Kings was able to pull ahead by 1 point with his 2nd place finish. Chris has been inching closer and closer to the front of the points pack with every win, and with 1 round to go he is 2 points out of 2nd, and only 3 points out of the lead...going to make for an exciting finish to the regular season at Round 6, make sure you come see how it turns out!
