SCCA/Starbucks Cycling Women Wrap up MFG Series at Woodland Park

With consistently strong performances on Saturday at Woodland Park in Seattle, the SCCA/Starbucks Cycling women wraped up season wins and podiums.  Theresa Harding won first overall in the Category 4 field.  Having wrapped up the series last week, she spent Saturdays race, along with Brianne Kwasny working hard for Tina Wang, who wrapped up 2nd overall in the series, giving the Cat 4 women the two podium spots for the series.  In the women’s masters category Jitka Cole continued her dominating perfomance with a win and 1st overall for the series.

The Cat 4 mens team showed courageous performances on Saturday, but bad luck kept Justin Calvo from achieving 2nd place in the series as he had a spoke blown out when another rider hit his wheel on the first lap.  Jeff Dunn assisted in pacing Justin back but he was unable to make up the distance.  Mike Foster freaked out the entire team by riding from something like 1 millionth place at the start to a fourth place finish in his 2nd ever cross race.  Hmmm, watch for him next year.

Other excellent performances were put in by team riders across other cateogories, then it was all followed up by a birthday party for Tina Wang, featuring a very nice keg and bbq out in a cold Seattle winter day.  Next we’re on to the Seattle Cyclocross series next week south of Tacoma.  Looks like snow!
