Brodiums still coming in So Cal Winter Series…

The brodie b team is back in the saddle this winter and picking up right where they left off last summer… the podium.

In his pro debut, Chad Lorrain picked up his first win at the Southridge Winter series Mountain Cross race in Fontana, Ca, a series that typically attracts mountain cross legends like Eric Carter and Rich Housman. Overheard and summed up best by one So Cal pro; “Some no name showed up and kicked all of our asses.”
We’ll just keep this on the DL, but we inside the b team anticipate that Chad’s competitors should probably get used to it. Last year in Chad’s rookie season racing mountain cross in the expert division, he was the NORBA National Champion and won or hit the podium in every race entered. But perhaps more notably, his qualifying times at every event would have placed him in the top 5 for pros right alongside the biggest names on the planet.


A resident of North Lake Tahoe, Lorrain himself was a little taken back by the upset victory as he noted “I haven’t been able to get on my bike in 5 months because I’ve got 12 feet of snow outside my door right now, so all I’ve been able to do is train.”


Never to be outdone, 3rd year pro, and 2nd year b team racer Ian Odom has raced his way to the podium in the Southridge Series not once, but twice already this season. Odom has a newfound commitment to training that has been helping him get increasingly faster each time on the race course. In the last outing Odom was just over a second behind former multiple World Cup winner Chris Kovarik.
