JamisCX Hits the Podium on Both Coasts

Tyler Wren 3rd at the NYCross Finale and Ben Jacques-Maynes 4th at Sierra Point

This last weekend proved to be one of the best for the Jamis Cyclocross Team, with multiple top placings highlighted by Tyler Wren achieving his first podium of the season at the NYCross Finale in Delmar, New York. Tyler has been knocking on the door all fall and thinks more is possible. &amp;#8220;After a fast start I attacked and had gained a healthy lead when a mechanical problem knocked me back into the field. I chased through everyone except the lead two, my form is on its way up and I hope for better luck next time.&amp;#8221;

Meanwhile, Phil, Sam, and Ben were racing a NorCal classic: the Bay Area Super Prestige Night Race at Sierra Point. Held under the lights on a tight track alongside the San Francisco Bay, the crowd was rowdy and the action was intense. A first lap crash sent Phil to the ground and Sam out of the race with a broken shifter. Ben was in the mix for second when late in the race a mechanical stopped him and he was forced to chase, passing a few riders and ending up 4th. Phil finished in 11th.

The team will be in action next week for their biggest race weekend of the season, with Phil, Ben, Carson, and Sam in Iowa City, IA for Jinglecross. A local bike shop will host a meet and greet and ride with the team. Stay tuned to the JamisCX Facebook and Twitter pages for details in the coming days.
