2012 Race season,
News Update 2011 Season begins in April
The race season has begun!
More earlier race reports when we receive them from our riders
12 hours of the wild west
What can we say except the power duo of Ken Boyer and Sara Delano won the men & women's solo division.
Ken had a battle from the start and his young gun rival never let up. Ken finally took the win not knowing his younger competitor had some minor mechanicals towards the end and we guess he called it. Ken fought hard so you never know until the end where you stand. We are proud of Ken for putting the hammer down and taking the win!
Now for Sara she lapped the field and let her fitness do the talking..and it did! she won by a couple of laps, Nice work Sara!! She is looking strong this year and we are very proud of her
Thanks to the Sponsors Stans No Tubes, Maxxis, Swiftwick,Ergon, Rudy project and Bach Builders!
The first endurance race of the season was the 12 hours of Mesa Verde.
Josh Tostado took the men's solo win with 8 laps and as usual took the lead early and set a high pace. This is pretty typicall for Josh as he likes to set a good pace from the start.
Josh thanks his sponsors for all their help
Santa Cruz, Stans No Tubes, Maxxis, Swiftwick,Ergon,Schimano pro, and of course Bach Builders!
Jessica Bernstien also raced in the duo womens and eneded up with 6th place. Nice work Jessica! Hope to post a picture of her soon!
She is a strong SS racer..watch out you SS she is coming on strong this year!
Keith Collins takes 2nd place in the Winter Park hill climb in his age division!
Breck 100
Josh Tostado takes 2nd place. After a 6 year winning streak Josh had a hard fight on his hands this year as the field was stacked of talented riders!
Jeff and Josh fought it out untill Jeff Schalk attacked on Indiana going up to Boreas pass. Josh gained some time back going into Komo on the gold dust trail but the attack by Jeff was enough to take the win. Attacking Josh is something that well...has to be a great caculated move and Jeff Schalk played his attack perfectly. Josh gave it everything he had and we are proud on his effort, I know he will probably be back to get number 7!

Stay tuned for upcoming events!

Josh Tostado at the Mohican 100 NUE seies-
http://www.cyclingnews.com/mtb.php?id=mtb/2009/may09/mohican100_09
Josh finished 13th almost in the top 10.
He was in a chase group 1 minute behind the leading group.
His group somehow missed a turn and lost valuable time and the race soon became a solo chase for Josh trying to gain back time to the lead group.
In such a talented field of riders Josh did great.
Good luck at Big Bear Josh we will be watching the live updates!

Josh T
Josh Tosatdo was ready to race but due to some *terrible riding conditions*
& mechanical problems the race soon came to an end. This race course was so bad many racers DNF.
The 12 hour riding event soon turned into a hike a bike for every lap.
Josh was in second place right from the start and decided as many other racers to call it a day.
When they race at this level it is not an easy decision to DNF
