Yes, it is on again......the season is starting extra early this year and big changes are afoot for the team. We now have one of the largest junior teams on the west coast of the USA. This was put together by our own Ben Dodge-believe me , I'm a minor player in this development.
Not only do we have almost 30 juniors , they are all killing it on the race course. There's some real talent and the future of the sport is looking much brighter at the start of this season. These photos were shot at the CCCX Ft. Ord race-the results will be up soon. When all these kids get the new kits it will be amazing........serious saturation of the CX peloton !
I lost count of how many of our junior racers got on the podium-today's race might be the most successful medal count in the teams eleven season history - and it will only get better.
Here are the placings for the day. Not sure if everyone got on there-a few juniors didn't have the team kit or wrote the team name registering.
