ST. AUGUSTINE TEAM REALTY BIKE RACING 15th AT U.S. NATIONALS
St. Augustine Team Realty bike racing placed 15th at the recent USA Cycling National Mountain Bike Championships in Sun Valley, Idaho.
“The altitude was a bit of a factor for us,” said St. Augustine Team’s Sean Hess. “While the base elevation was only 6000 feet…it was a doable rece for us…most of the teams we were up against live and train at those higher altitudes. So they were better acclimated than we were. Still, to go out west and beat people from the surrounding states is still a feather in our cap.”
