Local cyclist Robby Judkins shows off the medals he won last weekend at the Highland Rim Cycling Classic, while posing with his vintage Peugeot bicycle.
McMinnville?s Robby Judkins participated in his fourth straight Highland Rim Cycling Classic over the weekend, and for the fourth straight year, the 13-year-old cyclist improved over his past performances ? proving you don?t have to belong to a corporate-sponsored, professional race team to hold your own on the race circuit.
Judkins, a seventh-grader at Warren County Middle School, competed in the Junior (10-14 years old) division, and finished in second place in his division in the time trial, ascending Harrison Ferry Mountain in a time of 17 minutes, 56 seconds. He also pedaled his vintage-style Peugeot bicycle to a third-place finish in the Classic?s road race.
Robby is the son of David and Kristi Judkins, and the grandson of Avery and Teresa Curtis, of McMinnville, and of David and Chris Judkins of Smithville.
