The Cat 3 racers ride for 45minutes and then do two laps. Kevin Mcguire (335) placed first, Ryan Ellner (92) second, and Humberto Pages (436) 3rd. This circuit race went around a 1.1 mile loop at the industrial complex at the airport. There are different categories for different skill levels of riders. The categories go from five through one, with one being a pro category. Once a rider gets enough points they can move up to the next category. On Sunday April 13th they will have a road race in DeLeon Springs starting at the Spring Garden Ranch Horse Farm. Part of the money from the race will go to FAITH Riders, a non-profit group that does therapy for people using horses. The event was also a fundraiser for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society?s Team in Training. This event was produced by Wam Events. Keri Burns <cq>, the executive director, said that she does the events to help raise money for charities and promote fitness. (Daytona Beach News-Journal, Chad Pilster)
