Sunday 11 October 2009 CMCI athlete JT Cody drives lengthy break to win Texas State P12 championships  Location, Austin, TX Congrats to JT Cody from all the coaches at Chann McRae Cycling. JT earned an awesome victory at the Texas State Road Championship with some killer form. Joining the breakaway group on the first lap of the race and sticking it all the way to the line is the mark of a Champion. At Chann McRae Cyling we train our athletes to be "bike racers". Training the physiological aspect of the body is only 80% of the focus, the rest is teaching winning tactics, ability to suffer and endure selective races at the front, and most of all being 100% confident in your abilities. Once these skills are mastered, it is time to line up and contend wherever you want. JT Cody and Chann McRae Cycling coach John McCalister have accomplished a successful athlete/coach relationship. Now is the time for them to capitalize on form, and seek out opportunities at the races.
