Race Report: Orange County Cycling Classic – by Ronnie Toth, SoCalCycling.com Team

This weekend at the Orange County Cycling Classic Omnium the SoCalCycling.com Team came out in top form. On Day 1, after a couple hard laps on the 2.7 mile course and the usual chaos of counterattack after counterattack a break was soon established. I found myself and trusty beast of a teammate Lucas Binder in a selection of riders with two KHS riders and Shawn Wayland of Serious Cycling. There was an apparent dissatisfaction with the mix of that group of seven, […]

Race Report : Adrenaline SoCal Circuit Race, By Lucas Binder, SoCalCycling.com Team

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 […]

The course featured a 12.4 mile loop with 1500 feet of climbing per lap, a fast descent and a brutal uphill finish. The following riders from […]

Rider Diary: Vlees Huis Ronde Road Race – By Marcus Cannon, SoCalCycling.com Team

Race reports written by winners are familiar to many of you. They typically fall into two categories: the impossibly trite and the impossibly epic. The first goes something like this: “I knew it was going to be a big day on the bike so I ate both leaves of lettuce for breakfast. Then we rolled out and hit the first climb. Pretty soon I realized everyone else was already at threshold, so I ripped their legs off, and clobbered them […]

Rider Diary: Merco Credit Union Classic, Stage 4 Road Race – By Anthony Canevari, SoCalCycling.com Team

Beeeep! Beeeeep! Beeeeep! The sound of the alarm at 5:30 AM is never too exciting. Although, when it comes to racing I can’t complain. It was the last stage here at the Merco Cycling Classic. The course was 120 miles of mostly flat and some rolling hills. In my past experiences this course usually came down to a field sprint. A few riders would normally get away a lap or so in but be slowly reeled in by the long […]
