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!

Weekend Results: March 28th & 29th
Plainville # 4
The usual suspects and teams were out for the race. Stage One and IRS Medic in were large numbers, the Cyclonauts and a couple of CVC riders. In a surprise move, long time unattached rider Tim Unkert was sporting the yellow and black Cyclonaut jersey.
Craig, Hunter and Chris K were out for CCNS, ready to get into the assumed winning break.
Pretty quickly a 3 man break developed with young Connor Sallee, Unkert and a rider from Empire Cycling. This break was given some leeway, as it didnt have any Stage 1 or Medics in it.
When it was evident that the Stage 1 and Medic chase wouldn't be enough to bring the break back, Chris and Hunter went to work up front. When the gap was brought from 25+ sec to less than 12, Craig jumped across the gap with Medic rider Mike McGinley. He would bridge up in a couple of laps to the tiring trio in front, making it 6 in the break with only Stage One left to chase. Craig was able to fend off a couple of last lap attacks from the break and take the sprint for the win. Hunter easily took the field sprint, with Chris right behind him in 8th.
The jersey now is on the back of Craig Luekens, with second place one point behind, Dave Hoyle.

Johnny Cake
The weather was beautiful for the first of the Johnny Cake Training Series (Coxsackie, NY). Team members Aidan Charles, Brian Tompkins, David Hoyle, Patrick Brandon, and Ron LaRose lined up for the Men’s A race. The weather helped promote the race, with a full field of 70-80 riders on the line! Some of the larger teams with a good turnout were the Spooky/Kenda Team, Westwood Velo, and the Keltic Cycling Club, all with around 10 riders representing from each squad.
Team CCNS rode very well from the start. The team always had representation in any threatening break, and managed to get both Patrick Brandon and Aidan Charles up the road in a break of 10 riders for the remainder of the 55 mile race. Within one or two laps, both Patrick and Aidan managed to slip away from the breakaway with two Westwood Velo Riders, infamous Roger Aspholm and Todd Cassan. It was Two-on-Two for the remainder of the race.
After some tough efforts Patrick found himself shaken loose from his breakaway companions, leaving Aidan with the two Westwood riders. He dropped back to the chasing remainder of the breakaway. Aidan managed to stick with the two Westwood riders down to the finish, taking second place against Roger in the sprint. Patrick also managed to take 5th place overall for the day after winning the sprint out of the chasing group.

Bethel # 3
Team CCNS made its largest showing yet for the Bethel series today, with team members Aidan Charles, Chris Kohnle, David Hoyle, Patrick Brandon, and Ron Larose making it out to the race.
A stiff wind on the course made the race a little tougher than usual, and after a quite a few break away attempts, Team CCNS was able to put Aidan, Dave, and Ron in a break of 10 riders with about 10 laps to go. As Patrick and Chris held the field behind at bay… Aidan Charles attacked the break with 3 laps to go in order to draw out some of the break's main competitors, including Eneas from Team Targettraining. With Eneas and the rest of the breakaway members chasing, Ron and Dave were able to pounce on the tired riders in the final lap, and take 1st and 2nd in the finish! Ron also managed to take a prime, adding a great final touch to a successful and exciting day.

Plainville #3
After last week’s great performance, David Hoyle earned himself the overall leader’s jersey. Team CCNS had to play a defensive role for the race, with the goal being to make sure that no one in contention for the overall was able to get up the road and away from Dave. The team set out to keep a steady pace on the front, and not let any threatening break get to far ahead without proper representation.
With members of the team being on the front for the large majority of the race, CCNS was able to control the race, even with the good deal of challenges laid down by the other teams, including CVC, Team IRSmedic.com, and Team Stage-One/Fusion think. Ron Larose was able to scoop up points primes, and David Hoyle was able to get second in the final sprint, with the help of a lead-out from the rest of the team.
The team now has a healthy gap in the overall team points competition, and is holding on to 1st, 3rd, and 4th in the in the individual points competition for the P123 ranks.
