Fairfax Cross Race2007-09-28_96, originally uploaded by CourtneyAllison.

So the word is AJM is back racing cross. His 2 top 5 results at starcrossed and steillacoom UCI races show his injuries are now to a minimum.
Welcome back to cross.
Sneads new nickname might be Sampson as the longer his beard gets the faster he gets. Sneads on a roll this year, riding strong!
Dave Twolf was onhand to stick the 1,2s to AJM too.Check the podium and see that Odell was 4th making it very close to a sweep of the elite mens race for the team. Dean Poshard rode strong in the last two laps finishing 10th.

Sarah Kerlin snaggled a 2nd in elite women.Stella Carey finished a strong 4th.Both Sarah and Stella rode a clean race when many of the women were hitting the turf with alarming frequency.

Matt Jordan had a great race and was 5th in Master 35+ As, right up there with the big guns.Max Clifford rode strongly to finish in the top 15.

Congrats homeboys!

Looks like Odog has finally won some cash

Cross Vegas looks like a wild time.

Sabine over at Velo Bella posted some incriminating photos of what should stay in Vegas!
Mike Hernandez of the HRS Rocklobster team was serving time as a velo bella podium boy there. Phew.. glad it wasn't me, cause his white skinsuit would of looked horrible on me.

We can see that Aaron finally won some cash at a race! Congrats Odog.
Did I forget to mention all wins are split for the team??
looks like $8 bucks, so 50 cents a piece!Thanks Sabine for sharing these photos!

the 2007 Team Jersey

This year the Team kit takes yet another turn. We innovated the re-use of the old school Argyle last year, and now the trend has gone wild. Everyone is putting them on their kits.
So we wanted to be different again, plaid and Chewbacca fur were just too much for people today. For 2007 we cleaned things up and made use of our primary sponsors logo with an overlay of puzzles.
Photographers take note, this is the jersey your looking for.

thats how you start a season off right...

I hope Lauren doesn't mind I stole this picture.
He welds bikes all week and then comes out to hand off bottle. Thats why we know Paul as the Swigg Boss.
"nice socks by the way"

A big turn out at the CCCX race for HRS Rocklobster team.

Josh Snead and David Wyandt tried to upper cut the old National Champ and Diesel engine Justin Robinson.
David and Josh traded turns taking shots at Justin, but in the end the duo made a few minor mistakes and Justin took the win.
The HRS team took: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 10th. With a 10th and 13th.


Meanwhile in the womens Elite race it was 3 Velo Bellas to 1 HRS RL- Stella Carey took second to Barbara Howe who appears to be back from her couple year funk! Good to See Barb back to light things up for Stella!

For Masters Mens 35A's Tim Watson took a respectable 10th while newbie Max Clifford took 16th!

In the Masters Mens 45+ A's Steven Gile took turns beating up the field and snagging a second place!
Billy Hall took 12th as well!

Super amazing was Jeff Traugott (one of our sponsors) out racing in the masters B 45+ and took 14th, while Larry Bullard (our other sponsor HRS) took 16th! Scott Cally took 3rd overall in this group. Way to go guys!

Josh Snead sports his Mountain Man beard. Its aero and heat dissipating all in one. Plus you save lots of goodies collected in the race.. in this case it was a 2nd place podium that he caught in it.

Good job Snead.

Courtney Allison grabbed some nice shots of the team.

got yo team bikes hangin' boy.
