USCX SERIES ROUND 4: Waterloo, WI

The final weekend of the USCX Series took place in Waterloo, WI. After three consecutive weekends of racing, we could feel the fatigue, but the excitement was still there.

Saturday’s race was hot and very dry. Despite a mediocre start, Caroline fought her way up to contend for 3rd place but cracked in the final half lap, finishing strong in 4th against some world-class European racers.

Kerry Werner was unstoppable, expertly managing the race to take the win over the young rider Andrew. We are incredibly proud of him, and the fans were thrilled to see him back on the top step.

Day 2 was all about the fight for the general classification. Caroline had a tough day but gave everything she had to earn valuable points.

Kerry put in another impressive performance, narrowly missing a second consecutive win, finishing 2nd. However, this secured an incredible 2nd place overall in the series.

Our masters rider, Jim Scheel, raced well and gained confidence throughout the weekend. We can’t wait for more. 


Caroline will be racing in Indianapolis while Kerry is staying at home to reset and focus on second part of the season.

USCX SERIES ROUND 3: Charm City, Baltimore MD

USCX Series Round 3 - Baltimore Recap

We arrived in Baltimore hoping for wet conditions, and while we had a bit of slick terrain on Saturday, the hot 80+ degree weather dried out the course quickly. The pre-ride conditions were nothing like the race itself, which turned out to be super hot, humid, and hilly—challenging for all riders.

Caroline fought hard on Saturday, pushing herself onto the podium. Kerry also delivered a strong performance, finishing in 4th place.

Sunday brought cooler temperatures and slightly wetter conditions, making the course more technical. Unfortunately, Caroline had to pull out early due to severe ankle pain, which had been bothering her all week. She managed to push through the discomfort on Saturday but wasn’t able to continue on Sunday.

Kerry had a great start and secured another solid top-5 finish. Both riders are now headed home for a short recovery before the final round in Madison.

Kerry is currently ranked 3rd in the USCX Series standings. 

Kerry and Caroline.

Rochester Cyclocross is a staple on the US Racing calendar, often regarded as a classic. The organizers consistently do an incredible job creating a course that is both physically demanding and technically challenging, closely mirroring the European style in terms of difficulty and race dynamics.

It was another fantastic weekend for the team. Our teammate Denise Watson raced in the 50+ category and dominated, winning both days.

On the first day, Kerry and Caroline fought hard, both finishing just shy of the podium with 5th place finishes in a highly competitive field. It was a great effort, with both showing strong form.

Day two saw Caroline pushing for a podium spot, holding her position until 2 laps to go. She managed to drop her group and secure an impressive 4th place finish. Kerry was in contention for the win but was set back by an unfortunate mechanical issue. He rejoined the group in a dramatic effort, giving everything in the last half-lap and finishing 5th.

We’re incredibly proud of the team’s performance and excited for the next round in Baltimore!
