Chico Stage Race - Podium!

Susannah - 2nd

Cody - 3rd

Annie - 4th

Catherine - 5th

The Chico Stage Race began with a 90 mile RR in 100+ degree weather. Countless water-bottles later, the 4 ladies savored the days 1-2 finish by SBB and CCG while sitting in the Butte River (sorry, no pictures) discussing the race. What do you you think about over the last 30 miles of a 90 mile event in brutal heat and a looming 4 mile gravel section? We all had different responses, but Catherine's was by far the most entertaining and kept us laughing all weekend - check it!

Later, the girls headed to downtown Chico. In order to stay in full recovery mode they got a preview of the course via a local pedal-cab that looked like this....

The driver was not sure about all 4 ladies being able to fit -- especially since they had large cups of frozen yogurt in hand. But he was a good sport and the girls felt good about the crit course.

On Sunday, the 45 minute criterium was over quickly with SBB and CCG gaining additional time bonuses by finishing 2nd and 3rd. Annie and Catherine continued their selfless riding from the previous day's RR and set SBB and CCG up perfectly for another good finish heading into the afternoon TT. The decisive 10 mile time trial went well, but none of the ladies were able to match TT specialist Molly VH........but everyone went home happy with a weekend of good teamwork, excellent training, and lots of laughter in the books.

Annie - 14th

Catherine - 15th

Annie, Catherine, and Susannah went to the Mt. Hamilton Classic last weekend and enjoyed some serious competition over the epic, 65 mile course. Riders from SoCal made the trip up to NorCal for the event along with many of the local professional riders like Shelly Evans, Alison Starnes, and Megan Guarnier. The race starts in San Jose, at the base of Mt. Hamilton and climbs 4,500' in 20 miles to the top of Mt. Hamilton and then continues 43 miles through remote ranch lands to the finish in Livermore, Ca. Many thanks to all those that supported the girls for this race, including our Wells Fargo teammates Mark D. and Nick O.
