Team history was made early this morning- Clementine Nixon who just joined the team last August won the national title in the women's 35-39 age group. She rode a heroic race at the front, had a crash on the limestone stair approach but recovered quickly and chased down the two riders ahead of her.
After that Clem put in a punishing last lap and finished of with a long sprint to win by about 4-5 bike lengths with the only rider who could stay close. It was a great race with lots of tension and drama. The whole team is very proud of Clem and virtually walking on air right now. Later today Kailin and Max will be racing single speed- a group that has always suited both of them. It will be great to watch.
