Late afternoon brought the first ever Epic Rides' Clunker Crit. The pro women took to the pavement with the men following shortly thereafter. The pros were primed and the competition was stiff in both categories. In the end, Chloe Woodruff (Crank Brothers) prevailed in the women's category with Erin Huck (Tokyo Joes) and Pua Mata (Team Sho-Air) close behind.
Troy Wells (Clif Bar) battled it out for first in the men's race with Ben Sonntag (American Interbank/Cannondale) and Brian Matter (RACC ProGold Lubricants) closing in on second and third.
