Gaucho tires were among the first to cross the finish line this weekend in the Island View Classic at Research Park, with Men's Road Captain Kelsey Judd placing in multiple races. Judd earned fourth in the Road Race and third in the overall cycling Criterium. But with so many cyclers pedaling for the top three spots, avoiding crashes was victory in itself.
"We got through the race without any problems- usually that’s pretty hard to do," UCSB Club Cycling Captain Erik Hartsuyker said.
After hosting one of the last conference events this season, the team will train hard and skip desserts in preparation for the WCCC Championship and the NCAA Road Championship. Although planning the event has added hours onto a full practice schedule, it hasn’t changed the team’s motivations to keep competing.
"If I stopped having fun, I would stop racing," he said.
