Covington Ga was the location for Race # 5 in the GA Cyclocross Series. It was in the 40s with a stiff wind at times. Cycle Escape is holding at 20th in the team points of 50 teams entered. In the series standing Jeff Dorminey is 9th in the Masters +45 and Carl Viars is 10th in the "C" class. We need more riders!
