South Jersey Women's series Top Finishers!

On behalf of Riptide Cycling and Team EPS/CSS, we would like to thank all of the women who participated in our 4-part series this season to help further promote women's racing in New Jersey and the Tri-State area. We had incredible turnouts each and every race and the competition was fierce. Our inaugural series was a very successful one and it will only go up from here. We have some big plans for next year's edition! We would also like to thank Ken Mills with Heart House/CADV cycling team for his collaboration and help with the series as well as congratulate Bill Borghard on a great job organizing the Zeppelin Criterium.

Below are the final results of the South Jersey Women's Series. The top 10 finishers in the series will win $400 in prize money along with additional prizes for the top 3. For those of you in the top 10 who were not at the Tour of Medford to receive your prize money, please email: info@riptidecycling.com with your name and address so we can send you your reward!
