We're back on track this week.
Saturday was the Sturbridge Road Race and the team was well represented. The highlight of the day was the 3/4 race in which Ron LaRose finished 2nd in a photo finish. Right on Ron's heels was Bob German in 5th. Ian Marcuse was up from Virginia and rode strong with the guys until a last lap flat forced him to drop out of the race. In Masters action Steve Youmatz (16th), Keith Hurley (39th), and Patrick Brandon (50th) rode well in the 35+ race. Robert Smythe (18th) and Jeff Fyer (26th) rode well in the 55+ race. Leslie Stevens held her own in the Women's 3/4 race placing 23rd. Congrats to everyone!
Sunday brought on the Palmer Road Race and the team was out in full force! Again, the highlight of the day was the 3/4 race. The 5 guys in the race rode very aggressive and smart covering all breaks and ramping up the pace mile by mile. Bob German came out on top taking the win in a wicked sprint! Ian Marcuse (18th), Ron LaRose (19th), Brian Tompkins (31st), and Anthony Parent (70th) all had key roles in getting Bob the win. Anthony jumped out in an early break and tore his legs off to keep the pace high and stay way from the main field with Brian and Ron eventually bridging the gap. In the 3/4 women's race Leslie Stevens placed 20th. In the Masters 55+ race Bob Smythe place 25th and in the Cat. 4 race Kevin Malloy rode to a 41st place finish.
