Huge Bay Area Super Prestige Race At Golden Gate Park.
Nearly 700 Nor-Cal Cross Racers In Action As Cyclocross Makes Home In San Francisco.
Congratulations to Ben Jacques-Maynes(Bissell Pro Cycling) and Kerry Barnholt(Scott/Ritchey) on their fantastic overall Elite triumphs on the day!
Ben Jacques-Maynes rises to the occasion to claim possibly Nor-Cal's the most prestigious Cross win this season. The legend of BJM continues to grow....
Kerry Barnholt has quietly put together one of the most dominating season's ever for an Elite rider in Nor-Cal history. Barnholt has won every race she has entered this NCNCA race season except one. In her only loss, BASP #1, Barnholt had 2 flat tires and still took the race to the line losing a 2-up sprint to Devon Haskell(Bike Station Aptos).
Congratulations to Tom & Alec Simpson and the BASP Series for a awesome day of racing.
The Golden Gate Park course was epic~.
Some sections had perfect dirt for Cross racing that was hidden under giant trees, and mixed in with wild flowers and green grass.
Other sections of course were soggy & muddy and contained some deep puddles of water that made for a great spectacle as riders ripped across.
Congratulations to the rest of the division winners at BASP #4 Golden Gate Park!
