BULLARD – Twenty-two new state champions were crowned after winning their respective divisions in the 2007 Texas Age Based State Championship, held Saturday.

The championship, which replaced the East Texas Hills Classic this year, began and ended at Kiepersol Estate, a co-sponsor of the event with Darr Chiropractic.

The event was a Texas Bicycle Road Association (TXBRA) Texas Cup event.

About 350 riders took to the rolling hills to ride 24-72 miles of back roads, with a single loop measuring 24 miles.
