Stoopid 50 - NE
State College, Pennsylvania, June 15, 2008
Winners crowned in Rothrock State Forest
Over 140 mountain bikers spent the weekend outside of State College, Pennsylvania in the Rothrock State Forest. They rode all over the mountains brushing up against the pillow-like white puffy blooms of the mountain laurel while listening to the cicadas taunt from above in the mountainous backcountry of Central Pennsylvania during the Stoopid 50 Mile Backcountry Race.
Michelle Stopper (Visitpa.com) won the women's race ahead of Janel Demeter (Guy's racing) and Christina Buerkle (Do good and look good doin' it!). In the men's race, Christopher Beck (Gary Fisher/Joes Bike Shop) finished first ahead of Brandon Draugelis (SoBe Cannondale) and Ry Leech (Visitpa.com) 19.54.
Lauri Webber (Secret Henry's Team) and Bill Alcorn (Speedgoat) took top honors in the singlespeed category while Janet Krones and Michael Funk (Mountainside Racing) won the masters' category.
