Bicycles Plus Early Bird Criterium - WIN!

Elizabeth Newell - 1st

She did it again! Beth scored another win for Fremont Bank Cycling Team over the weekend and we all know she is just getting started. Beth was among a strong group of women, many racing solo, that traveled to Folsom, Ca for the early season criterium. Touchstone Climbing had a strong team that started the racing off with some coordinated attacks - but with solo riders like Mary Maroon, Ruth Winder, and Beth nothing was able to stay away as the group continually chased down any break away attempts. In the final lap, Maroon and Winder had a slight gap on the field, but Beth's patience payed off and once the duo was in striking distance Beth closed the gap and then attacked again, jumping out of the final turn and unleashing her incredible sprint for another victory. Congrats on another win! Next up - the women will be racing in the Central Valley over the next few weekends.

Cherry Pie Criterium - 7th

Amy Chandos - 7th
Amy raced solo at Cherry Pie and was ready for the challenge of racing against some of NorCal's best female riders, showing exactly why we are so excited about having her on the team for 2011. Despite Webcor, Metromint, and Vanderkitten having more riders - none of the teams seemed to take control of the race. Strong efforts by solo riders kept most of the attacks under control except for a solo break driven by a Swiss rider, Pascale Schnider, who would eventually win. Amy maintained her good position in the pack and allowed the bigger teams to lead the chase of Schnider. Amy finished 7th, and was pleased with her race for such an early season event.
