Mathis edges Landis at Callville Bay Classic

Professionals in search of sun and miles mixed it up with elite amateurs on the banks of Nevada’s Lake Mead last week at the Callville Bay Classic. Veteran Burke Swindlehurst was on hand and had nothing but praise for the fledgling event. Racers and staff stayed on docked house boats on the lake and road away from the Callville Bay Marina for each day’s stage. (Check out a Callville Bay Gallery.)

Michael Mathis (Empire Cycling Team-CRCA) edged Floyd Landis and Sergio Hernandez (NOW-MS Society) to take the overall. The race served as a tune-up ahead of the San Dimas Stage Race and NRC-opening Redlands Bicycle Classic later this month.
