The “Showdown in the Boat” saw VSSA and SSCV cyclists take a first place overall team victory and six podiums as well as 13 top-10 placements across the Yampa conference competition.
The “Showdown in the Boat” was the third race of the Colorado Mountain Bike League series. The series contains four regular-season races which crescendo toward the state championship Oct. 22-23.

The next race is the Haymaker Classic in Eagle on Oct. 8-9, 2022.
“The younger riders really stepped up in this race,” said Marshall Troutner, SSCV head cycling coach.
“It was really great to see everyone as a team perform so well, produce such great results and work their hardest out there as they’ve been doing for every race. We’ve been seeing lots of improvement so far, and we’re just excited to show up to the Eagle race on our home-turf in a couple of weeks.”
