Race Results

Men 1 / 2 / U23 Road Race (Friday): Corey Farrell 3rd, Cory Greenberg 4th, Stephen Leece 5th (of the U23s)
MTB Race (Friday): Kendall Ryan 4th
Women 4 Circuit Race (Friday): Vikki Appel 1st

For the Elite riders, today was a tough Road Race, a difficult course, the finish was a 2-mile climb. The men were up against the Bissell team which brought out their A team this weekend. Their Tour of CA riders are at Sea Otter. The NOW-MS Society men (Corey Farrell, Cory Greenberg, Stephen Leece, Kit Karzen and Aaron Schneider) all rode great together. Corey Farrell was at the front most of the race. Yesterday's crit was really challenging, mentally and physically. And a chance for the men and women to learn where they can be more competitive.

Kendall Ryan placed 4th in the Mt Bike race today. She was in 2nd for most of the race, right behind the leader until an unfortunate crash. She's fine, just a scraped knee.

Congratulations to Vikki Appel for her 1st place finish in the Women Cat 4 Circuit Race today!

Coming Up Next...

For the Elite men and women, tomorrow is the Circuit Race. In the women's race, Lauren Liscinski, Jenna Kowalski and Julia Lafranchise will be joined by Jennifer Johansen and Louise Keoghan. Kendall Ryan is off to Italy.
