Thirty-four riders turned out on a beautiful evening for our second Boca Road
Race of the 2026 Twilight Series. Riders came from Sacramento, Truckee,
Tahoe, Reno and the Carson Valley, making for some great competition in all
categories and a strong showing from the Ladies.
The C Race was won by Nina Zegler, who also captured the hill climb Prime on
“The Wall”. Nina was followed by Ty Kruse in 2nd and Bren Smith in 3rd.
The B field was the largest group of the night and most competitive. Tim Bright
won the overall, with Julie Young in 2nd and Remington Ickes in 3rd. Julie Young
also captured both the KOM and QOM crowns on “The Wall”, followed by Katie
Goad and Kevin Becker. The 4-some of Tim, Julie, Remington and Kevin stuck
together in the escape group from the turnaround at Dog Valley all the way to
the finish. The chase group of Travis Jones, Taylor Gorman, Katie Goad, David
Cavagnaro and Josh Doorly finished a few minutes back.
In the A’s, Junior racer Will Gregor took the KOM and the overall win in just
under 56 minutes, beating out Stephen Flynn with a sprint finish. Paul Levy of
the Sacramento area took 3rd. Stephen and Elliott Petterson rounded out the
KOM standings. The rest of the pack included regulars Jose Cuevas (6th) and
Troy Diebart (4th). The Russell family (Nick, Chris and Matthew – who swept
the podium at our SunRidge CX race last fall) finished together in places 8, 9
and 10. Kyndra Riddle was the only woman racing in the A’s, finishing 11th.
