Pilarcitos #1 CandleStick Park 2011

Pilarcitos is back! Yesterday was the first race of four they will be hosting in the Bay Area this season. Our team met up early, and headed to CandleStick Park to compete in the heat. Fortunately for the Single Speed A’s, they raced at 9:40am, and avoided the hottest part of the day. Enclosed are some images Gabe shot out on this dry, dusty, bumped out course.

Daniel is unstoppable. Race=Win. This is his 4th in a row.

Clean finish in the Men’s SS A’s by D. Velasco.

Paperwork: Strong race for Daniel, Chas, Blake, and Garrett. Looks like Daniel placed 1st, 14th, and 27th in the same race. That is not easy!

Rainier won this SS series this year, so he is racing with the Elite Men A’s this season. He earned his call-up in the front row.

RAINIER

Rainier has been having a great CX race season this year. Seeing him up there with Bay Area legends is really inspiring. Note: He is standing with 3 National Championships here. It is still early in the race season, and really looking forward to seeing where he will go his season. Pictured at CCCX #3 Manzanita Park!

Dave at the Red Hook Crit has posted an update, and results for this years race in Milano. Congrats to the entire field, with the top honor going to Neil Bezdek. We are so stoked to see Chas up there with this serious field. He has been constantly traveling, and racing this year. Really proud to have him representing for MASH + Cinelli worldwide. Check in with John Watson for more images of the bike Chas has been racing and touring on this past year.
