Late Summer Race Report

Well its been over a month since the last post, but the team is still riding hard. A number of guys rode the Green Mountain Stage Race last weekend up in Vermont. Patrick Brandon finished 15th in the Masters 40+ field of 60 riders. Patrick hasn't raced Green Mountain in over a decade and rode strong for his first return trip. In other race news, Chris Kohnle finished 5th in the Pro 1,2,3 race at the Topsfield Circuit race this past Saturday. The road season is winding down with only a few races left, Jamestown being the season ender. It appears the team will have a number of riders giving cross a go this year...it should be a fun Fall season.

Anthony Vecca will be racing the CrossVegas "Wheelers & Dealers" race in Las Vegas on September 24th. The race is held the first night of Interbike and is open to 100 bike shop employees and industry affiliates from across the globe. Anthony has been part of the Pedal Power family for 8 years and will be representing the shop and CCNS in the race.

Race Report

There has been a lot of racing going on over the past month. The guys have been traveling all over and riding really strong. The past two weekends the team has been on home turf racing here in Connecticut. At the New Britain Criterium last weekend Jeff Fryer took home 2nd in the Masters 65+ race and Anthony Parent rode strong taking home 4th in the Mens 30+ race. At the Donovan-Ruhlman Naugatuck Criterium yesterday Brian Tompkins got off the front with another rider in the 3/4 race to open up a 47 second gap on the field...Brian took home 2nd. August is just around the corner and the guys will be racing just about every weekend leading up to September's Green Mountain Stage Race.

Race Report

There has been a lot of racing going on over the past month. The guys have been traveling all over the Northeast and riding really well. This past weekend was the New Britain Criterium (Nutmeg State Games), which is basically a "home" race for the guys seeing its only 20 minutes from the CCNS Training Center. As usual, the team was well represented and everyone gave it their all. Jeff Fryer took home the bronze medal placing 3rd in the Masters 65+ Race. Steve Youmatz placed 4th in the Mens 30+ Cat 4/5 race, but was the 1st Connecticut finisher earning him the top spot on the podium, the 2008 Connecticut State Champions jersey, and a gold medal. Congrats to both Jeff and Steve for their great accomplishments.

Steve became an instant celebrity and got some great press coverage which you should go check HERE.
