Oregon State Champ - Criterium & Mountain Bike!!

Congrats to Moment Race Team rider Chris Roots on his recent string of great races up in his home state of Oregon this summer! He managed to hold a breakaway in the State Criterium Championships in the Men's Cat 4 and the following weekend he pulled out another amazing win at the State Mountain Bike Championships for Men's Cat 2!!

State Criterium Champion!

Congrats to shop employee Rachel Wills on her Cat 3/4 outright win in the 2011 State Elite Criterium Championships in Brentwood on Sunday!

"It was a perfect race for me. I stayed near the front for the majority of the race, controlling the pace and working the corners. Brentwood is a pretty technical course with lots of fun corners, so staying near the front is crucial for staying fresh and avoiding the accordion effect."

With a pretty major crash with a lap and a half left, she managed to avoid going down but had her work cut out for her to bridge the gap between the girls off the front.

"As soon as I caught the pack we had a lap left. I had to sit in and recover so I could be there at the end. We rounded the last corner and I was ready, sitting 6 back, and waiting. No one went and I thought it was already too late, but I punched it to the inside and didn't look back."

The race was scored separately for the cat 3 and cat 4 racers, so with the win, she is now eligible for the upgrade.

Thank you to Moment Cycle Sport, Airsis, Nautilus Advisers, Parlee Cycles, her sherpa/husband Kyle and Sonja at Zipp for the demo 303s!

Haven't been to a clinic yet? Don't worry, we'll still go over the basics for the newer rider (or the rider who has never changed a flat!)

This is a hands on clinic, so feel free to bring your bike and get familiar with proper bike care. RSVP on facebook!

SDIT - Race Report

Congrats to all the participants at the San Diego International Triathlon this morning! We saw a bunch of Moment bikes and bike fits out there respresenting! Congrats to Erik Nau for his 2nd place PRO finish on his Moment Ridley Dean!

Moment employees JT and Rachel were out there competing today (on custom Guru bikes) and both had a respectible return to the triathlon world.
"My swim went well and I felt really solid on the bike. It's a constant battle to keep the HR down and the cadence up, all while staying in the aerobars, but someone has to do it!" says Rachel. "The run went better than expected, considering the [lack of] training. I think the work on my bike has translated a bit. The comfort, power and aero benefit of my position really help." Rachel was F.I.S.T. fitted by Moment Cycle Sport in 2008 and is now a fitter at Moment. Rachel ended up 3rd in the W25-29 AG.

JT's quote of the day: "Domination." JT ended up 9th AG with a 1:49. In a friendly bet with Brian Wrona, JT won by 35 seconds.
