Wells and Miller take wins at Jingle Cross Rock Day 2 presented by Carousel Volkswagen

Report by: Kenny Lefler in Iowa City, Iowa

Wow what a difference a day makes. The sun came out and with the warmth
came fans. The atmosphere at the Jinglecross could not have been better.

Most cyclocrosses that I have been to are great for the fans. Beer, food
and watching human suffering at it's best. This was no different and
more fun then anyone should have on a Saturday in November.

Once again it was the Todd Wells and Meridith Miller show. This time the race had a
huge run up and these riders made it look like it was not even there.
They both easily rode away from all the other contenders.

Race Note:
I have had the pleasure of talking to both winners and they both are great
people to be around.
