Rio Verde residents who participated in the Cactus Cup cycling race made a good showing for the community.
Steve Long, David Schachte and Dave Whiffen competed in the 2024 Cactus Cup, a 25-mile race at McDowell Mountain Park on March 9. Steve Long did battle in the 70+ category while the two Davids rode in the 60+ category.
Long did a great job of getting on the podium for second place. Schachte and Whiffen made it a good race by running in the top four places for a while, but in the end Whiffen got the best of Schachte for fifth and sixth place respectively.
