A 26" win for Brown

Overcast skies and seasonable temperatures met racers at Boulder Racing's 2nd series race. Racing was fast and furious on a course dubbed by many as the best Colorado cyclocross course ever.

The Xilinx Corporations beautiful campus provided a mix of road, open fields and trails, a combination that made for a great European likeness. Highlights of the course included over 800 meters of paved road broken into two sections, a technical off-camber woods section, two sand pits, and a series of three ditches that would be more at home on BMX course. Riders with the "cajones" to commit to the jump would gain a serious advantage over racers opting for the safer running option. With the sizes of some fields approaching 100, racer numbers gave the course a true test of its quality.

In the men's race, the start list of 60 plus riders gave reason for the crowd to settle in for a good show. After winning the Salt Lake UCI race on Saturday and a six-hour drive back to Boulder, Marc Gullickson (Redline) showed up to give Travis Brown (Trek) a run for the money. Travis has been burning up the local Colorado cross scene; no one locally has been able to challenge his form. But with Gully in town, many thought they were in for a round for round prizefight between these two champions.

The day would prove different, Marc was forced to deal with a start line flat tire, promoters delayed the start and Marc relegated himself to the rear of the group for the start. From the time the gun went off the Colorado crowd was treated to the Travis Brown show. Travis picked up the New Belgium Brewery's 1st Lap Hot Lap Prime and just kept going, showing the form and skills of a true champion.

By the time Gully made it to the chase group three laps into the race, Travis had worked up a 45 second lead. With the crowd motivating both leader and chaser, Gully whittled down the gap to Travis to a manageable 15seconds. Feeling the pressure, Travis turned on the after burners and opened the gap up to a comfortable 20 seconds for the win. Behind the leaders, local racers Christian McCarthy (Vitamin Cottage) and Jonathan Baker (Pro Peleton) kept the race interesting and the pressure on.

The women's event was also a one-rider show. Heather Szabo (Tokyo Joes) put in an impressive effort running away from the women's field at the start. Riding like a gritty Belgian, she won the New Belgium Hot Lap Prime and kept it rolling for the entire 45-minute race. All the more impressive, just the day before Heather put in a 14-hour day as one of the main coordinators for Denver's famous Velo Swap. Behind, mountain bike pros Jenny Smith (Trek Rocky Mtn Regional) and Gretchen Reeves (Rocky Mountain) put in a solid effort and kept Heather honest, riding close for the majority of the race the two chasers finished in second and third respectively.

Of note, former world champ Alison Dunlap was in attendance racing with the men's category 3 field. Alison showed her world class talents starting in the back of an 80-person field, showing the boys how to do it, and working herself up to a fourth place finish.
