Team Sho-Air/Rock N' Road Cyclery is in full swing!

Bern smiling through 8 Hours of HEAT!

Lou, Sarah & Bern on the podium!

Team Sho-Air/Rock N' Road Cyclery is killing it at races around California and beyond! The super fast cross country guys represented at the Firestone MTB Classic in Santa Barbara on April 29. The team is collecting points to win the Cal State Series Championship and is in the lead by 16 points so far!

Josh hammering through the heat at the 8 Hours of Adrenalin

The same weekend, the team's endurance freaks raced the 8 Hours of Adrenalin MTB race at Hurkey Creek. "Super" Mario Correa and "La Ruta" Lou Kobin won the 8 Hour race in the Men's & Women's Solo Categories! They both rocked the course!

Lou passing the guys!

It was a scorcher out there in Idyllwild with temps in the mid to upper 90's! It was my first "long ride" in two months and also my first HOT ride so it was a tough one. But I was super happy to be riding amongst my teammates on that fun course. And it was great to have Andy Lightle and my best friend Miss Gilly supporting me and cheering me on. It was a perfect training/experimenting ride and I learned some things to prepare me for my next 24 hour solo.

8 Hours of Hurkey Creek Results:
Mario Correa 1st Place Men's Solo
Louise Kobin 1st Place Women's Solo
Bernice Pierson 3rd Place Women's Solo
Josh Smith 6th Place Men's Solo
Matt Nourmohamadian 8th Place Men's Solo

Kudos to my friend Caroline Goulard for her 3rd place finish in the full 24 Hours of Adrenalin!

While we were racing in Cali, Fuzzy John Mylne was spreading the Sho-Air word back east! He took first place in the Pro Single-Speed category at the Dirt, Sweat and Gears 12 Hour race in Fayetteville, Tennessee! He had been off his bike for a while due to back pain, but he headed east and took first at the Cohutta 100 as well! He is just incredible!

Fuzzy and Dejay on the podium AGAIN!

Hi Bernice! Great job - you were tough competition! If you ever want to train together, give me a holla! I could use a fellow female training bud. :-)
