THE DALLES — Nighttime racing on the stage 3 Cherry City Criterium’s downtown course proved exciting for racers and spectators, but at the end of the evening the drag race through The Dalles had little effect on the overall standings for the 2011 Water’s Edge Cherry Blossom Cycling Classic.

Garage Racing’s Andrew Bates beat the field in a sprint for the Pro/1/2 men’s stage win, while Megan Chinburg (Upper Echelon Fitness) avoided a last lap wreck at the front of the field to take the Pro/1/2 women’s race. With just one stage remaining, Ian McKissick (Audi) holds a 29 second lead over Colby Wait-Molyneux (Hammer/CMG) in the men’s race. Double stage winner Jade Wilcoxson (Landshark/Flywheel) wears the women’s jersey with an 18-second lead over Patricia Bailey (Keller Rohrback).
