Spooky Crossby Dave Sheek

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA—With Day One of Spooky Cross in the books, the racers were ready to go on Day Two — even those who raced Cross After Dark the night before.

In the women’s race, Caroline Mani (CC Etupes) took the win in impressive fashion, with a 25-second gap on Teal Stetson-Lee (Cal Giant-Specialized). Sue Butler (River Cit Bicycles) scooped up third, a minute back. 

Caroline Mani leads the women off the start line for Spooky Cross Day Two

Elite Women:
Mani, Mani, Mani! Caroline Mani took the hole shot again and was off. Sue Butler wanted the win and planned to sit on Mani’s wheel to take the win late, but she said after the first lap she knew that was not going to happen. Instead it was Teal Stetson-Lee who was closest to reeling in the French national champion. But Mani wouldn’t allow it and stayed on the gas to the finish for her second win this weekend. Stetson-Lee was pushing hard and opened her own gap over Butler, who was 20 seconds back to finish in third. Fourth again went to Devon Gorry (Rambuski Law).

Fifth was Chloe Forsman (Race Club 11), who broke off from Allison Mann (Rock N’ Road). Mann  was riding well and looking to represent for SoCal on the Elite podium.
