Twilight Series Race Results

Air Center Crit Results 19 May

Race Notes:

A total of 56 competitors turned out in near-perfect conditions in our first Air Center Criterium of the 2026 Twilight Race Series.
We bode farewell to long time race director Rich Paul, after 20 years of running the series, at his last event as Twilight Race Director.  He’ll still be around on the other side of the start-finish line, giving other racers a run for their money.

The C category of 12 racers included 3 women, one who made the podium (longtime member Heidi Littenberg) and one who bagged 2^nd in a Prime sprint (Laura Daly).  Seth Freedman-Peel  took the win, with Bert Johnson right behind in 2^nd.

We had a big B group of 21 starters.  Unfortunately, the race was marred by a significant crash, taking out 7 riders early in the race.  A couple of bikes were broken, fortunately the worst injuries were cuts and scrapes.   And a couple of helmets met their demise, saving the riders from much worse injuries.

It’s a very sobering reminder to ride predictably by holding your line, not overlapping wheels in a tight pack.

The A race saw 23 starters, with newcomer, Miles Hubbard winning the race ahead of junior Will Gregor (who recently won the junior category in Stetina’s Paydirt).  The battle for 3^rd was an exciting field sprint, with Josh Rennie edging out Jose Cuevas by a half wheel at the finish line. Twilight regular Lucas Miers placed in nearly every Prime Sprint.

The next race in the series returns to Air Center on June 9^th.  Remember to preregister online to save $5 from the on-site price.  Pre-registration makes things a lot easier for all of us, all you need to do if you’ve already raced this year is check in at the registration table so we know to look for you on the start line.  It’s still faster if you haven’t raced this year, especially if you print and sign your waiver before you arrive.  Remember that Juniors (18 and under) must have a parent or legal guardian’s signature on their waiver.
