PHOTO ESSAY: LION OF FAIRFAX 2011

0 Comment

Last weekend our CX team packed up, and headed to the Lion of Fairfax. This was the first race of the season where we had most of our team at the same race. Daniel, and Walton will be out soon. Cinelli provided the team with prototype SSCX framesets, and this was the first race to put them to the test. Enclosed are several images from the event, and some notes from along the way.

Not so neutral support

Garrett designed this seasons Califlandrian Skinsuit. Awesome take on the iconic Lion of Flanders. Many thanks to View Hotels, Cinelli, Giro, San Marco, Incase, Clif, and Oakley, for the strong support this season!

Garrett knows how to pack for these races.

This decent was on the back side of a loose run-up. many riders came down while not clipped in.
