For the first time this season I got to travel south for a race instead of north to LA, for the Adrenaline SoCal Circuit Race in Chula Vista. After completing a 6-day stage race the week before in Mexico with lots of heat, climbing, and u-turns, I was feeling well prepared for this tough circuit race course. A good sized group showed up to contest the Men’s Pro 1/2 race, with racers from across the border as well as the […]
ROL’s C50 Carbon Tubular wheels perform in any condition with the agility and stiffness comparable to any other high-end carbon tubular wheelset.

After pulling an all-nighter getting my new Cannondale SuperSix EVO dialed in with dedicated Race Director Frank Sarate we were ready to take it to the street team and make some magic happen on […]
Sunday, April 20th, 2014 was the Easter Sunday Grand Prix held on the seven-turn course in Ontario, California. This race is part of a six race series. Races are held about once a month throughout the season. To win the series racers can obtain points from placing in the top seven in the finish as well as a mid race three-point prime. With a few of the top local sprinters out of town, the race presented itself as a great […]
