The second weekend of the new US Cup-CX series was in Baltimore at the Charm City Cross held at historic Druid Hill Park.
On the Women's side, the weekend provided some clarity for the overall series. Kaitie Keough (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com) won both days to break a three-way tie atop the standings before the weekend started.
For the Men, Tobin Ortenblad (Santa Cruz / Donkey Label Racing) held onto his lead after winning on Saturday and finishing fourth on Sunday. Stephen Hyde (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com) won on Sunday to close the gap and set the stage for an exciting last three races of the series.
Photographer Mark Colton was in Baltimore helping Cyclocross Magazine cover the event. He compiled a gallery of his favorite photos from the Charm City weekend.
