Weekend Results

From New York to Mass., it was a great weekend of racing for the team!

Calvin Smythe rode great on Saturday placing 2nd in the Cat. 4 race at "The Main Event" Poughkeepsie Criterium. If I'm not mistaken, this is Calvin's first podium finish of the season. Congrats!

The team had a few riders in attendace at the Attleboro Criterium on Saturday. Bob German rode well placing 8th is the Cat. 3 race and Robert Smythe rode strong in the Mens 55+ race.

Bob German also race the Unionvale Road Race (Mew York State Road Race Chamionships) in New York on Sunday. Bob placed 19th in the Cat. 3 race over the 44 miles.

Bob gets the "Road Tripper" award this weekend. The kid drove 2 hours North East on Saturday to race, drove back home to CT, and drove 2 hours North West to race on Sunday. I know the SUV Bob drives isn't easy on gas.

Congrats to Harrison for completing the 7 day event and placing in the top half of the international field.

Robert Schmidt did a great job for the North East Regional Team (United States) as well. I caught word that Robert had issues with his cranks and spindle which forced him to drop out of the race on Friday. I could only imagine Robert would have been right up there in the top half with Harrison if he raced the last 2 days of the Tour.

Great job guys!

I haven't caught word why Robert DNF'd, I hope all is well. I'm a bit curious because 2 other Northeast Regional (United States) riders also DNF'd. I hope it wasn't a team crash!
