The Singlespeed Women Podium at 2015 Nationals: Bruno Roy, Cutler and Sherrill. © Cyclocross Magazine
During Wednesday’s Women’s Singlespeed National Championship, Mo Bruno Roy was able to pull away early from the larger field with Jessica Culter in tow. Last year’s second place, Ellen Sherrill, had a rough start and had to fight through traffic for her third place finish.
Like many riders coming to Nationals, Sherill came to Austin believing that Zilker Park was “flat,” and was surprised to see a course laden with chicanes where you had to scrub speed consistently.
She gives some riders some advice for Friday: when the rain first hits the course, it’s going to act like “oil on concrete,” and implores riders not to forget some of their tire options in their hotel.
