Spring Thaw 2010

Ashland, Oregon * May 14th-15th, 2010

Cierra Smith took 5th in Pro Women and is  featured on the Deity Blog. Cierra would’ve won the women’s Expert class by 40 seconds so it is a good move for her to race Pro even though she’s only 15 years old. Young JD Smith took 3rd in boys 14 and under. Big congratulations to the Smiths!

Excellent race report and photos at Jon Wilson’s  Ride To The Hills.

more from Spring Thaw ’09

From 14 year old Santa Cruz Jr Syndicate racer Cierra Smith‘s dad:

“So as a testament to how cool the Ashland race is.  SOMBA (the race organizer) sent Cierra a letter stating that along with her first in Cat 1, she also placed the 3rd fastest overall women’s time including Pro women, so they sent her another medal for 3rd overall time and a check for $50.00.

She got her first payday….and didn’t even know it. : )

I thought it was very cool of them.” – Wil Smith

Cierra Smith racing her way to the gold in women's 29 and under Cat 1 and 3rd place overall!
