Once InCycle and SC Velo joined forces to host the annual XC Challenge at Bonelli Park in San Dimas, CA, they decided to step things up with a $2500 purse. Cash was paid out to the top three riders in every category of every age class. Product was also awarded to the fastest lap in each category.
Number 1: Chuck Jenkins leads Cytomax-KHS teammate Sean Donovan. Chuck is wearing the 2007 SoCal State Championship jersey.
Expert start: 30-39 Greg Shea (183), 19-29 Hector Cabrera (343), 40-49 Rich Bartlett (319), 30-39 Guy Sutton (184), 40-49 Eddie Arnet (341-mbaction), Sng Spd Todd Stephenson (315), 30-39 Paul Klyse (327-Psyclist), 40-49 Bob Kmetz (330-Velo Sport).
Tactics: Sport 40-49 Steve Herrera (216) battles 30-39 rider Billy Mercier (ACME). Paul Hauck (40-49) takes a free tow.
Top couple: Jeanne is one half of the Bernhard team. While Rob Bernhard won the 50+ Experts, Jeanne took 6th in the Sport Women class.
Vantage point: Sport 19-29 Lucas Wiens high up on technical singletrack overlooking Puddingstone Lake. Lucas placed 7th.
Shot off the back: The Bonelli circuit is full of rolling up and down power climbs. The park holds two races per year.
In through the dark: Expert 40-49 winner Rich Bartlett ducks into a tunnel that cuts under a Bonelli Park highway.
Test pilot: MBA's Eddie Arnet on the top singletrack. Even in the fall SoCal temps climb up into the 80's.
Tuck: InCycle employee Brian Rogers aboard a Kelly B2 single speed cyclocross bike. "The 39/20 gearing killed my back!"
Cytomax-KHS team captain Hal Helbock leads one of his sponsored riders, Chuck Jenkins. Hal secured the fastest lap of the day.
