This past weekend, the Myogenesis.Net p/b landmark Dodge cyclo-cross contingent, continued their winning ways. Tim Barrett and Casey Magner took the top two spots on the podium at the www.Georgia-Cross.com Georgia State Championships in Augusta, Georgia. Tim and Casey immediately when to the front from the gun stringing the group single file into the first barrier section. Tim, Casey, Thomas Turner (Bear-Naked Cannondale), Daryl Sawyer (Van Dessel Factory Team) and Dave Howe (Camp Highland) were the first through. From that point, Tim appeared to just ride off from the rest of the group. Casey and Thomas soon managed a small gap over the others as well. Tim managed to not only hold his lead, but slowly increase it every lap. Coming into the last lap, with it obvious Tim had the race locked up, everyone’s attention turned to the race for 2nd and 3rd between Casey and Thomas. It stayed tight, and with 300 or so meters to go, Casey made his move, and easily sprinted away from Turner, who was on the hook for the chase the entire race. Myogenesis goes 1 and 2 in the Pro class, making that yet another State Jersey for the boys. Sean Harper also came in with a top 10 in only his second A’s race.

In the Master’s 35+ category, Brady Rogers rolled home in a 3rd for the bronze. After a strong start, and soloing the first few laps, Brady was soon bridged to by former Masters National Pursuit Champ, Tony Scott (Peachtree Bikes), and then Brandon Sullivan (E-Caps Solutions). Unable to hold the pace of those two, he sprinted in for 3rd, just in front of speedy Nate Zukas (Augusta Cross Coalition). This is Brady’s 5th podium appearance in as many years, with jerseys in hand
