Chappell Hill, Texas was the site of the 2002 State Road
Race Championships. It was a challenging course with
seemingly no flat areas on the entire route. TBi did well
in all the events entered. The highlight of the weekend
was Pam Bates' gold medal finishes in both the Women's Cat
IV and the Women's 35+ events.
