Race Report:

All three CRR Teams held practice at ASCG Race Course for 2 weeks prior.  Conditions were dry and dusty due to lack of rain.  Tire pressure and bike handling became paramount, as the course was slippery at race speed.  The entire team was very excited to race, and host, the event. 

No serious injuries and great fun by all participants. Temperatures were lower and more comfortable than the first race weekend.  A total of 240 riders showed up. 

Outdoor Master sponsored Rider Alexandra Cardozo ran the Outdoor Master GEM bike helmet for the first time.  Alexandra enjoyed the exceptional ventilation of the helmet. This kept her cool in this 4 lap race that runs over an hour in length.  The highly adjustable fitment system,  and MIPs safety system,  were both minimum helmet requirements for Alexandra.  

Alexandra raced her competitor thoughtfully.  She followed her closely the first two laps and then made her move.  This being a home course, Bea had a tough time matching Alexandra’s speed.  Allie won by a good margin. This is her second win of the season against Bea Galbreath from Greenville, SC.  Bea is a top ranked junior road rider in the U.S..

The girls on the team dominated their classes, including Varsity Class Women.  It would have been a sweep of most all classes, but one of the girls was out due to injury.

The boys classes also did exceptionally well. The new Advanced Middle School class, which does 2 laps instead of 1, had some exciting racing.  Carter M. had a crash early on. He rebounded quickly and was edged out of a position by his younger brother Jackson. 

Varsity Boys, Ethan, Ben and Jaden swept the Varsity Boys Podium!
