A fine day of racing today – lots of good riding for the four boys (Isaiah, Bjorn, Spence and Bob), and another successful domination of the Junior A class:
1st Place – Isaiah Rapko
2nd Place – Bjorn Fox
3rd Place – Bob Siegel
4th Place – Spence Peterson
Plus there was the special “Halloween Race” event, with many hilarious costumes and antics.
Here is a link to the photos and video from today – I shot more video of the racing AND the Halloween activities. I think you’ll find some of it amusing (or incomprehensible ;-) Enjoy the photos and let me know if you would like any high resolution versions of the shots:

By the way, for those who DIDN’T make it, there was very good schwag for the podium finishers!

BASP #1 - McLaren Park - the BIG runup!
It was a fine day of racing for Team AC and the extended family (Isaiah and Bjorn).
Here are the results:
Juniors 10-14:
1st: Spence Peterson (with the Leader’s Jersey)
2nd Bob Siegel
3rd Alex Howard (nee Haywood)
4th Skyler Taylor
5th Irrelevant
Juniors 15-18:
1st Isaiah Rapko
2nd Bjorn Fox
3rd-5th Irrelevant
On the “adult” side, Peter Sobrero and Blair Peterson held down the Masters 35+ and 45+ respectively, and finished close to each other at the end.
We took some photos, which can be seen (and downloaded) here:

Our friend, Jack French, came out to watch Bob and the boys run the course, and took a number of really nice shots (he has both better camera skills and a MUCH better camera than we do ;-) – I expect we’ll have a Flickr link for you soon. Some of his photos may be suitable for framing ;-)
I’m sure Blair and Peter may have comments about the course – it looked very tough and appeared to never let up – the steep run-up was followed by one hard charge after another – but the weather was cool and cloudy which made it much more bearable for all.
It was a great morning of racing, and Team AC seems well positioned to dominate the BASP series!
Also, I posted a short video of the run-up section – all of the boys are in it – Bjorn, Isaiah, Spence, Alex, Bob and Skyler…

LARPD - Livermore, and Laguna Seca CCCX #2
Congrats on a weekend of furious 'cross racing with AC well represented and placing well.
On Saturday in Livermore, Bob, Spence & "Slayer" hammered a new course hard, mixing it up in the Men's Open B. Nice work.
On Sunday, the Dawn Patrol (Alex, Bob & Spence) hit Laguna Seca to race another new course, for CCCX #2 - this course may be used again in next year's inaugural Sea Otter cyclocross race.
These guys gave it their all in the Junior 14-18yr old group. Isaiah-from-that-other-CX-team won. Spence nipped Bjorn Fox's heels for 4th, Bob a few seconds later for 5th and Alex powered in for 11th.
It should be noted that other racers Ben Jaques-Maynes, Ned Overend and Don Myrah were all asking who these hotshot AC guys were and where can they buy the cool AC kits!
Here are a few pictures that Megan took from the Monterey cross race – including a couple of good ones of Alex on the course….
