Aaron Gwin took the win at Windham on his way to a record 5x W.C. wins in 2011
Just two short months ago, Windham, New York
welcomed the international mountain biking community for the excitement
and festivities of the seventh race of the 2011 UCI Mountain Bike World
Cup series.
That picturesque little town in the Catskills and many of its residents
took quite a beating from Hurricane Irene earlier this week and need
your help. Main Street in Windham is all but gone. Many businesses and
houses have been swept away by the raging waters. Several of the people
responsible for putting on the World Cup – all of whom are volunteers –
have lost their businesses or homes and in some cases, both.
