Lehigh Mountaintop Classic Recap

Great job this weekend to everyone who raced and to all who helped make the weekend a success. The results were just posted on the conference site, and the club came in 1st place over all D-1 and D-2 schools. This is the first time in recent memory (the race has been run 6 of the last 7 years, and five consecutively) that we've beaten out the conference powerhouses like UVM, UNH, and NU. Lots of great racing by freshmen, first time mountain riders, and seasoned veterans of South Mountain contributed to the victory that capped an epic weekend of XC, DH, and Clusterhucking.

The final points for the weekend are listed below:
1. LEHIGH 248
2. Boston College 208
3. UVM 193
4. RIT 171
5. Penn State 126
6. UNH 117.5

Lehigh Mountaintop Classic

Lehigh Cycling is back in action as the team has returned to South Mountain.  Next weekend, 9/17-18, we host our annual Mountaintop Classic.  This is the longest running race in the ECCC mountain season and has become the crown jewel of the conference in recent years.

Saturday's schedule includes the grueling XC course, DH, and the awesome Clusterhuck relay for XC and DH duos.  On Sunday, racing kicks off with the STXC and team relay, followed by the DH in South Mountain Park.

Here's a glimpse of the DH course on Saturday:
