Race Report: LA Circuit Race – By Wesley Eslick, SoCalCycling.com Team

The LA Circuit Race started off with a nice cool but windy day which would make for a great day of racing. The Pro 1,2 field consisted of around 60 riders for the day. The race got off to a pretty fast start down the tailwind section but was short lived as once we hit the first turn around point it was a block head wind all the way up to the next turn around at the top of the […]

Race Report: Two Podiums at the Easter Sunday Grand Prix

The Easter Sunday Grand Prix in Ontario was the fourth event of the Ontario Series with perfect racing weather in the low 70′s.  On Sunday, racers and their families celebrated Easter, as well as Race Announcer Ralph Elliott’s birthday.

Race Report: A Win at the San Diego Omnium – By Quinten Kirby, SoCalCycling.com Team

Day two of the San Diego Omnium started off on a cold, wet, and early morning at Fiesta Island, just north of downtown San Diego.

As expected, the […]

Race Report: A Podium at the Rosena Ranch Circuit Race

This was the second Rosena Ranch Circuit Race of the season and it was a shorter version of the same course of the previous edition. The shorter course was equally as hard given the wind, small rollers and sprinting out of every turn around. In the Pro 1/2 race, the field was about 40-50 riders strong. The SoCalCycling.com Team, SPY/Ride/Giant, Bike Religion and PAA/Empire Bikes had three to four riders a piece, so this was how the race was dictated […]

Race Report: Santa Barbara County Road Race – By Josh Ruiz, SoCalCycling.com Team

The 2015 Santa Barbara County Road Race started off the road racing scene in SoCal for those who wanted to test their early season fitness. The men’s Pro 1/2 field rolled off with a respectable sized field that brought a handful of big names. Some of these names came all the way from Canada who represented Silber Pro Cycling. With perfect Southern California weather, the race was easily predicted to bring speed, suffering and sweat stains to whomever passed the […]

Race Report: Ontario Grand Prix # 6 – By Tyler Locke, SoCalCycling.com Team

From the whistle it was going to be a hot, long, hard day in the Pro 1/2/3 race. With some of the nations fastest sprinters amongst the peloton and group of strong guys, this Ontario would have to be fought hard. 75 minutes in the pain cave isn’t how most would ideally spend their Sunday, but that’s what we love to do. So we did- attack after attack- the race was off to a fast fun start. In the race […]
