Johnny Cake Race #2

The conditions were awesome on the 2nd race of the Johnny Cake Series. The temperature was just over 40 degrees, the winds were gusting over 25mph, and there was drizzling rain throughout the day… It was a great hard-man’s-race environment. Aidan, Brian, Ron, and Dave were representing the CCNS squad for the day.

Right from the gun Aidan went with the first move of 4 riders, which immediately formed a decent size gap. After staying away for the first lap the move was reeled in, only to be countered immediately by Ron. From this excellently time effort a breakaway group of 8 riders formed the winning break of the day. The break worked together well for the next 45 miles going into the final lap. Everyone approached the final lap cautiously, waiting for one of their breakaway companions to initiate the first aggressive move. Ron took it upon himself to start the hurt with about 1km to go. Everyone managed to respond to his move, but this didn’t stop him from beating everyone for 1st place in the final sprint by a healthy margin. Another great day for Team CCNS!
