The first-ever weekday Bandit Cross proved to be another Bandit success. With beautiful weather and a scenic course that was primarily run on grass, but which did include two paved sections and a "gravel bridge" crossing, the race did not go blistering off the line, but on lap 2, the action heated up and split the group. Over the next few laps, the riders in the front group of four would put enough pressure on one another to cause that group to split in to little pieces, and unfortunately, a spectacular crash put Jim Nowak off the back of this group. In the meantime, behind, a few determined riders continued to pick up those in front of them until a group of five established itself. This group rode together--but not steadily. As a result of her "exciting dismounts and remounts," June would find herself off the back of this group. Then, as soon as she clawed her way back to the group, she would attack the group, trying to get a gap prior to the next set of barriers, a technique she learned from watching Andy Kerr in the mountains.
