ESTACADA, OR - Four contenders competed for the "Baddest Badass" purse at Cross Crusade Race #5 Sunday.
Tony Tapay had a strong showing in the single speeds and has been declared Baddest Badass. He was followed closely by Badass Tad Bamfod who rides a fixed gear bike.
Jonathan "Badass" Maus who co-hosted the live feed from Barton Park hit a rock and slid out (see the Barton Quick Edit). He fell back a few spots from his strong showing last week.
Greg Sanders also ran into some issues during the race. He did complete it, though, and can also wear the title of Badass, but he can't wear the purse. At least not this week.
All Badasses rode out to the Cyclocross Crusade and completed their race. It's not easy.
