Cyclocross: MAC # 7 - Cat & Kitten Cross UCI C2
And the 'Mudders' have it - Switzerland's Valentin Scherz opens his MAC account in the mud.  Maureen Bruno-Roy led the Mudders in a solo finish...

Mid Atlantic Cyclocross Series # 7
MAC Cat and Kitten Cross presented by HPCX
Jamesburg, New Jersey

It was a day for confirmed mudders at the MAC Cat and Kitten Cross presented by HPCX in New Jersey on Sunday. Former MAC champion Mo Bruno-Roy (MM Racing-Seven Cycles) outdistanced two-time Olympian Mary McConneloug (Kenda/Seven Cycles/Stan’s No Tubes) in the Women’s race. Meanwhile, Swiss rider Valentin Scherz (Pro Cycles-Scott-Newwork) took his first MAC win.

With a name like Valentin, Scherz was an appropriate winner of an event that doubled as the wedding reception for Jonny Sundt and Mandy Lozano. The lightweight rider loves muddy conditions and thrived in the sticky mud on the  Jamesburg's Thompson Park course. 

Valentin  was followed to the line by BikeReg.com’s Justin Lindine, who also scored his best-ever MAC finish. Yesterday’s Beacon Cross winner Nick Weighall (California Giant/Specialized) finished fourth behind Adam Myerson (Cycle Smart).

The women’s race was a spread-out affair with Bruno-Roy taking a bit of 'revanche on  yesterday's solo winner  Mary McConneloug finishing 47 seconds ahead. C3-Athletes serving Athletes teammates Dee Dee Winfield and Laura Van Gilder finished in third and fourth, respectively. Amanda Carey (Kenda/Trainwitheric.com) filled out the top 5. 

The MAC Series moves to the Northeast corner of Maryland next Saturday, November 7, for the Wayne Scott Memorial Xross at Fair Hill. For more information, see BikeReg.com.
