CCCX DH #3

Last weekend was the third round of the CCCX series in Salinas, CA. A pre-Sea Otter classic downhill race for everybody to shake out some butterflies. The course was very typical in CCCX fashion, with fast fireroads and tight single-track, it resembled the course from round one.

Patrick Tidd is currently in fine form, easily winning the expert 45-54 class, bug eyes and all!


Ian Massey had a quick moment to take a look at the camera, still good enough for fourth place!


Jimmy Amaral must have taken the fast line down the course, because he crossed the line in second place, just right behind Mark Weir!


Scott Seery has been going insane fast all series! He was not sure if he was even going to race, but the tank is full and the pistons are moving! Racing hardtail and single-speed (on a rigid cruiser), he has been pulling double duty all along and scores a double win in both classes!


Alex Amaral is now 3 for 3 in winning the Junior Expert class, insanely fast and insanely impressive!


Co-founder Scott Orehek showed up out of nowhere and shocked everybody with doing countless practice runs and putting down an impressive time. I think he may be back to stay.


Mike Amaral took the super fast inside line on this left hander. He seems to be back up to speed and putting down some great times. We look forward to seeing how he finishes up the series in June.
