Today was the inaugural race for the Lost River Classic, and the first such event for Hardy County. Our county’s quiet roads and challenging terrain make it an ideal spot for cyclists. Local officials and the highway department were strongly supportive of this new event and I feel encouraged that our local leaders will be increasingly aware of the need to preserve and protect our rural treasure.
Some of us "locals" set up a picnic area at the top of a steep hill and drummed for the riders to
cheer them on. We got some great smiles from these amazing athletes!
