Virginia Cyclocross Series - Race 2

Chimborazo Park, Richmond, VA, November 19, 2000

Cyclocross weather - A meteorological term describing temperatures in the 30's to lower 40's, normally accompanied by rain and/or snow and mud.

Race 2 in the Virginia Cyclocross Series presented riders with their first taste of cyclocross weather for the season. The threat of snow never materialized, but it was plenty cold as racers struggled to warm up.

The racing day began with the Novices and Juniors tackling a tough course, at Chimborazo Park in Richmond. Mark Beattie, all the way from Olympia Wash., by way of Washington, DC, took a relatively easy win, as the smell of Tiger Balm hung heavy in the air. Rounding out the podium was James Connell and Jeff Salerno. The junior race was taken by James Weightman, NCVC/Spokes, ahead of Eric Bilotta of Charlottesville.

The second race of the day featured the Masters, Women and Men's B riders. Fred Wittwer took this race by the throat from the outset and never looked back.. Fred is just a few months away from the 50+ category, but you would never know it by his speed and skills. Rounding out the podium for the 40+ category was Richard Pence, who also took the measure of most of his younger competitors and Tony Bilotta. Charlottesville riders took all the podium spots. In the 50+ category, aka the Potomac Velo Club class, Jim Carlson took an easy win. Bill Helwig and Giulio Porta, both from PVC, took 2nd and 3rd respectively. These masters guys are really the heart of cyclocross, as they consistently give up the fun of raking leaves for a hard day at the races.

The Men's B race looks like a repeat of last year's Richmond Cyclocross Cup, as George Schulz took the win. George was the overall series winner last year, and his new Independent Fabrication flew up the cobblestones and over the Palani Drive run-up for the win, after battling with Logan Gery the entire race. The final podium spot was taken by another cross regular, Mark Miklosovich from NCVC/Spokes. The lantern rouge award for the class went to Vince Amodeo, Potomac Velo Club, who took home a fine bottle of Belgium ale for his efforts. If you can't hop the barriers like Sven Njs, then a nice bottle of ale is sweet consolation.

The William & Mary Tribe were on the war path in the Women's race, taking 2 of the podium places. Jessie Peil brought her mountain bike fitness and showed everybody how it was done. Riding a smooth race in company of the Masters, Jesse took an easy win over Melanie Swartz from PVC. Tricia Walterick of W&M, took third in her first cross race. Raymie Poole, also of PVC took the lantern rouge award for the women.

The feature race of the day, the Men's A, presented a full field of determined faces as they rocked off into the first set of Rowlett's Bicycle triples. Just as predicted, Jeremiah Bishop, Bill McCarrick and Ryan McKenny took charge early. Bill pushed the pace as the field strung out on the first lap. Jeremiah took the lead on lap 2 and was never challenged as he cruised to an easy win by over 1 minute from Bill and Ryan. He was able to bunnyhop the uphill triples, designed to be a sure dismount. Course designers beware, as Bishop can make almost anything look easy. Bill and Ryan chased and battled all race long, a battle of youth vs experience with the old guy taking the runner-up spot near the end. Randy Root took 4th in one of his usual displays of strength. After a crash and a rolled tubie early in the race, local strongman Jake Helmboldt decided that a bottle of Belgium ale was better than going home early. It almost came down to a trackstand, with Matt Butterman, but Jake pulled back to take the lantern rogue for the class.

In the end, the snow held off and the cobbles stayed dry. The series now turns back to Washington DC on December 10th with the Virginia State Championships at Lake Fairfax Park. Thanks to all the sponsors: Rowletts Bicycles, A1 Cycling, DeFeet, Cane Creek Cycling Components and Redline Bicycles.

SVA "Raise the Velodrome" Cross – New Mexico series

Rio Rancho, New Mexico, November 19, 2000

Located at the same site as round 2 of the NMCX series, the 4th event came and went with outstanding results. All proceeds from the event went towards construction of a velodrome in Rio Rancho, NM.

The course had been altered from its earlier incarnation to provide some variety for the racers and to add some length to the relatively short course. According to Tim Erwin, Lobos, the influence of my new cyclo cross World Championships videotape was evident in the course design. There were no run sections for the first two minutes of the course.

The Course

The course started fast on a parking lot, moving quickly to a long, straight dirt path. At the conclusion of this stretch, racers took an immediate and challenging 180 degree turn and doubled back on themselves. This was followed quickly by another 180, and then another. Racers then hopped on a paved section, across a small culvert ditch, and through the Haynes Park Gazebo. Next time we'll have a Dixieland Jazz band wailing to complete the effect. Riders then headed out on a long, L-shaped tour of the backside of the park. The ground surface through this was very bumpy, and the abuse took its toll over the race. After emerging from this section, racers chicaned through some trees and accelerated out of a tight corner into the first run. This was just a short double in the grassy field and then the course deposited its victims onto another parking lot for a little pavement time. Quickly, though, the land of low rolling resistance ceased and the course shot back onto mother dirt. A tricky right hand corner laced with a slippery gravel surface led to a firm cinder path, then back onto the grass. Another exhausting chicane, then racers lined up for the second short dismount of the race, and the entry into the Dungeon.

Hop, Hop, remount, then a short, hairy descent into the bottom of a sandy, wheel sucking ditch - the Dungeon. Immediately, racers were forced to hop off their bikes once again and climb out of the ditch. Once out of the Dungeon, though, the work was not done. Riders then clambered over 20 meters of dirt pile, bikes still on shoulders. A 100-meter long, hard pack dirt path was all that stood between Dungeon 1, and Dungeon 2. Whoosh, down again into the sandy pit. This time though, the 20-foot descent was fast, and the bottom was a nastier quagmire of 6-inch deep sand. Your only hope of survival was a combo of speed and luck, plowing through the mess. Of course, all bad things must come to an end, and this came to an end with a fight-for-survival climb out of the pit. Exhaustion was imminent by this point, and the course was almost through. The remaining 500 meters were fought over hard pack dirt, with one double-barricade dismount standing between two sweeping left-handers and the finish line. Comments on the course were all favorable. Supercup 2001?

How About the Racing?

The racing was of a similar high quality. As has been the standard in all of the NMCX series races, the lot was split into three divisions: A, B and C. C is developmental (and Masters), A is (in theory) developed. B is somewhere in the middle.

The C race

The C race attracted more than ever. The word that all Juniors race free in New Mexico is getting out, and the young Turks are showing up in droves. They are racing well, too. Their starts are a different story, though. From the wave of the green flag, there was a mishap. Tim Scheony, Tove Shere and iHighway.net Devo rider Chris Osburn tangled and were left behind. Not that the trio needed extra motivation, but they took something special out of the mishap. They each chased hard. Tim Schoeny appeared to be a man on a mission. His mantra must have been "Seek and Destroy", because that was just how it went as he fought his way back up to third. Osburn hung tough, too, regaining a 6th place finish. Shere rode an impressive comeback, too, as the only woman in the field came back to 9th place. Nat Cobb of Ochsner dominated the event, and led from start to finish. Series newbies Kris Montoya and Loren Bienvenu put the Free-Entry-For-Juniors program to work and cleaned up nicely. Flat tires and tough competition wreaked havoc on Taylor Lane and Stuart Knight-Williamson, perennial series challengers.

The B race

The B race action is, week in and out, impressive to watch. This week, past winners Juniper Hunter and Benito Qunitana were a no show and an upgrade, respectively. That left Patrick Ramirez, twice second place, in the cat bird seat. Would he swoop in? Michael Gamstetter of Bicycle Retailer News wasn't ready to give in. Neither were the legions of other riders including Eddie Elks and series newcomer John Boland. Boland had a look of fire in his eyes that, well, was scary. He powered around the course, time and time again, and the weaker among us cowered with respect. Ramirez, though, was too strong for Boland et al. Gamstetter suffered from more than one flat tire along the way, diminishing his chances of riding a good race.

Opportunity knocks me down

The A race lined up with a window of opportunity in front of the field. Opening the window was one Bart Bowen, who was tending to matters at the Boston Supercup. He usually destroys the field, so his absence meant a big chance for any number of riders to take the day's glory. Tim Erwin, Stephen Knight-Williamson (iHighway.net) and myself, Alex Andel (iHighway.net), had each taken a second place in the first three races of the series. Each of us was a reasonable bet for victory at this race.

From the start, the pace was fevered. Erwin had a great start and took an early three-length lead. Hawke Morgan (BCD) Tony "Bagadonuts" Stroup (Sobe) and I followed. Knight-Williamson was there, too, as was Daniel Swinton of Fat Tire Cycles. We were flying, but Erwin was going faster. His lead had grown to 10 lengths. We serpentined through Haynes Park and entered the Dungeon for the first time. I had moved into second, followed by Morgan, Knight-Williamson ("KY") and Stroup. There was a decent gap back to 6th place. Down and up through the gully. Down and up again. I gained back the gap on Tim and we were together. We had a bit of ground on third and, again, we were flying.

Tim was moving too fast, though. I was unable to maintain his pace this day and fell back. KY caught up to me a lap later and we rode in tandem for 5 laps. Behind us the gap to Bagadonuts and Morgan gradually increased to the tune of 30 seconds. Unfortunately, the 3 or 4 seconds per lap Erwin was gaining on us had added up to a sizeable lead.

With 5 to go, my race went downhill. KY had pulled away from me a bit as I was really struggling. I entered the first barricade of the loop. I tripped. I entered the Dungeon. I tripped. I entered the last barricade. I tripped. I, obviously, had lost all rhythm, and was fading fast. Behind, Bagadonuts dropped Morgan, and a hard charging Swinton had moved into 5th by capturing him, too. Another lap and Bagadonuts caught me. With three to go, I was hanging by a thread, totally shot. Swinton was coming fast, but I hoped I could stave off his attack.

Erwin was now way ahead of everyone. KY was racing fast and slightly closing the gap. According to KY, he never got into a good groove until the end of the race. His closure of Erwin's gap was too little, too late. Tim was gone. Bagadonuts rode strong for third, and Swinton caught and passed me on the last lap for 4th. I came in fifth, physically shattered, to round out the top 5.

Next week the series continues in Santa Fe, with a raffle for a Cannondale Cross Frame and great prizes for the top three in each category. Then, the series returns to Albuquerque for its finale on December 3rd and the State Championships on December 10.

Surf City Cyclocross - Race 4

Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, CA, November 19, 2000

A shot from a civil war replica cannon marked the start of the elite men's race in Northern California's popular Surf City Cyclocross Series. The Surf City series has been running since 1976 and has grown into one of the largest cyclocross events in the country. The series regularly attracts the state's top racers and the November 18 race was no exception. On the line for the fourth race in the series was Justin Robinson, (Team Bullion/Stil) who had arrived from Boston only hours before his start time. Robinson raced to a fourth place finish in the Boston Supercup held the day before. Also on the line was series leader, Ben Jacques-Maynes (Spokesman) who placed tenth in the Boston race.

The 1.8 mile course took full advantage of the flexible offerings available at the Watsonville Fairgrounds. In addition to the notorious run up from the stables, the course featured road, grassy, and off camber sections and even included a chicane around the horse stables. The beautiful sunny November day ensured a fast dry course. The first lap was led by the hard-charging Anastasio Flores (ABS/Rocklobster). Andy Jacques-Maynes (Spokesman) crashed in the mayhem of the speedy, dusty start but recovered in time to join a group of six that formed in the front. Flores eventually lost contact with the front group and Andy Jacques-Maynes took over the lead position.

Justin Robinson, David Wyandt (Palo Alto Bike), Jackson Stewart (LGBRC), and Ben Jacques-Maynes followed closely behind. Robinson and Jackson took a wrong turn in the chaotic chicane section near the stables on the third lap and Ben took the opportunity to bridge up to and pass his teammate and brother Andy. Andy stayed back to cover the Robinson group. Robinson made several attempts to catch the leader, but appeared fatigued from the previous day's race and travel and Ben Jacques-Maynes stayed away for the win.

Robinson used his bunny hopping skills and made an aggressive pass on the last lap to pull away from the chase group and finish in second place, 15 seconds back. The young Jackson Stewart hung on for third. Andy, exhausted from his efforts at covering the chase group finished fourth. David Wyandt of Palo Alto Bicycles rounded out the top five. After the race, Ben complimented the assistance his brother Andy provided in the win. "We try to work together whenever we can", commented Ben on the racing advantage the twin brothers enjoy using against their competitors.

Previous Surf City winners, Gina Hall and Rachel Lloyd did not return from the Boston Supercup - where they placed third and sixth respectively - in time to race on Sunday. Nicole Amaral (Another Bike Shop), 1999 National Collegiate Cyclocross Champion, took full advantage of their absence. Amaral pulled away from the competition early in the race and stayed away to win by 1'50". "I enjoy time trialing, so it was good for me to be out there on my own", remarked Amaral on her race tactic. The battle for second was won by unofficial singlespeed champ, Stella Carey (Novo/Sycip) over Amaral's teammate, Sarah Kerlin. The two battled for position throughout the race, but Carey's cyclocross skills enabled her to eventually pull away from Kerlin. Racing veteran, Larry Hibbard (Spokesman), had won each of the prior races of the Master's class, but has been closely challenged each time by James Coats (VCM/Steelman). Coats joined forces with Black Market Racing teammates, Mark Howland and Pat Schott in an attempt to upset Hibbard at Watsonville. The four of them managed to break away from the rest of the group on the first lap. Coats surged on the second lap and only Hibbard followed. The pair stayed away until Coats dropped a chain and Hibbard attacked to stay away for his fourth win. Howland and Schott finished third and fourth respectively.

Sklyer Bishop (Sharp Bicycle) won a hard fought battle over John Higelund (LGBRC/Ciena) in the Junior A's race. Frank Schouig (Black Market), Kevin Waggoner (UCSC) and Steve Cozza (Swift) made up the rest of the top five.

The Surf City Series concludes with the fifth and final race held on Sunday, December 3, 2000.

Verge New England Championship Cyclo-cross series overall standings

New England, Winter 2000

With the 5th of 6 rounds this Sunday in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the Verge New England Championship Cyclo-Cross Series is heating up as things get cold in the Northeast. In the Elite Men's category, the Saturn duo of Mark McCormack and Tim Johnson are driving away with the first two places, but only 60 points separate them. It will be interesting to see who does what in the next event, particularly with Frank McCormack making his return to racing as he ramps up for Nationals next month. The race for the third podium spot is even closer, with only 6 points separating Adam Hodges Myerson (Breakaway/Gunnar) from Johs. Huseby (Independent Fabrications).

In the Elite Women's standings, Carmen Richardson (SOBE/Headshok) has a commanding but not insurmountable lead over IF's Emily Thorne. With Carmen's sweep of the series only interrupted by the appearance of Kona/VoiceStream's Ann Grande at the Gloucester round, the SOBE rider has been on a tear that seems sure to continue leading into Plymouth this weekend and Wayland on December 2nd.
