Ride summary: sunny and 80, 18 riders. How can something so painful feel so good? The weather was stunningly beautiful; sun, great temperature and no wind. To some dismay I had a prime for ‘most aggressive rider’ and everyone seemed to be trying to win it. In the end Chris took top honors with Cary a close second, the prime was an all expenses paid trip to Tahiti for two make believe (actually a hat), but it made things interesting. You can tell everyone is getting stronger.
KOM: we are going to add KOM to the mix to break things up and keep it more interesting. My KOM ideas are (please let me know if you have different ideas), we have sprints, we should have KOMs! Regroup… YES!
KOM I: Annis Road (where we head east off of Edgar)
KOM II: E Race road (appropriately) which is just outside of Leslie
KOM III: M36 first hill once we turn west off of Meridian
Race results West Branch Road Race:
Cat 5: 1st place Rhone (outstanding Rhone), 4th place Jeff Chapin, 11th place Craig Newell
Cat 4: 16th Wade
Cat 1/2 : Greg Christian 6th, Adam York 12th. Outstanding men.
Masters 45+: yours truly 5th
Women cat 3: 2nd Leslie
Race results from West Branch Crit (don’t have MBRA results yet, here is a stab at it):
Cat 5: 2nd place Rhone and he had to have won the ominium
Cat 4 not sure yet
Masters 35+: 5th place Cary, outstanding, fast group, nice work.
½: Greg top ten, Adam 18th
