Dunlap TT

Yesterday was the NCNCA (Nor cal/Nevada) State Time Trial Championships in Davis, CA. It was raining the night before but luckily the rain held up while we did our TT's. Jack Maddux was 1st in the 13/14 age group and won! Congrats to him as he has been on a tear this year so far. Next up was Matt Valencia in the 15/16 group and finished in 2nd. 2 straight podiums and it was up to us, the 17/18's to deliver another win and state championship to the team. Chris, myself, and Andrew were up 1st going that order respectively. Andrew had a fast time and ended up finished 3rd and Chris and I finished 10th and 9th, respectively. Marcus and Torey were up next and they both posted some really fast times. Marcus came in to finished 5th, and Torey had the fast time of the day and won! Overall, we cam away with 6 victories at Dunlap TT including wins in the p/1/2, masters 35+, 45+, and 55+! It's great to such winning style by the team and I'm glad to be apart of it because National Championships are coming up and that's our end goal.

On Saturday, Marcus Smith raced at Dash for cash by himself in the wet weather and braved himself to a 9th place and earned him $100 for being the 1st U23 accross the line. Congrats Marcus! With nationals coming up soon, it's great to see our strengths starting to come out.
