CCCX III CSUMB

 This was a new course for all but the team rode it like they knew it for the most part. In spite of some mechanicals and flat tires the results were excellent with Natasha Perry and Janel Lodge going 1st and 3rd in the women's 35 + race. Ellen Sherrill fought hard for the win and finished 2nd followed by Katie Jay Melina in 4th in the women's elite race.

 Michelle Perez was so far out in front in the women's 45 + race she didn't know how many laps she had left to finish. Fortunately she did them all and took the win.
 In the men's elite race Scott Chapin led from the gun and took a convincing win. Team mates Andrew Juliano and Alex Work held off all but one of the field coming in 3rd and 4th. This was Andrew's 3rd ever cyclocross race.
 Here's Scott in front, in control and staying smooth.
 Michelle Perez working hard for that win.
 Ellen racing with tired legs from CrossVegas still able to be at the front.
 Katie Jay showing why she is an Elite.
Late in the race Andrew moves past another rider to get his first CCCX podium. Other placings coming soon.
