July is over and it brought some more great results from
the team! Three weeks brought 3 podiums and a big win!
Caleb finished off a gutsy performance at the 100+ mile
Pro/1/2 State Road Race Championships on July 15th with a terrific sprint for
3rd on the day! Caleb said DURING the race "I don't know how I'll do since I've
never ridden or raced this far before." I think he did just fine.
Tim Jenkinson, our newly-upgraded Cat. 2, came close to
dethroning a couple of pros in Asheville at the French Broad Cycling Challenge,
eventually finishing a strong 4th overall! He inititated the winning break
during the road race, finished second, and even after being victim to poor
timing during the TT, hung strong in a hotly contested criterium on
Sunday.
The following weekend, Evan Fader, recovered from his
participation as one of only 6 amateur racers in the country to participate in
the Nature Valley Pro Chase (http://www.naturevalleyprochase.com/The-Riders/2012Team/Evan_Fader) WON
the NC Criterium Championships, keeping the team's state championship results
going for 2 years in a row!
This month sees the team participate in North Carolina's
Crossroads races series, as well at Chattnooga's Volkswagon Omnium before
finishing off the season next month.
