Pittsfield Youth Series Championships

A record turnout of 120 junior riders participated in the Pittsfield Championships, the final event of the Pittsfield Cyclocross Youth Series. The seven-week race season for ages 12 and under concluded last Thursday with the championship event in Pittsfield. Medals were awarded to the top five finishers in all age categories and Richard Fries was on hand to call the action. The series is sponsored by the Berkshire Cycling Association.
