Stats: Sunny, 75, west wind, 12 riders
Summary: this was the inaugural Sprint Night Sponsored by Capital Area Bike Association (CABO). The devil would have been proud of the looks on these boys faces as they fired their pistons in an attempt to win honors for the sprint competition. It was a tight competition, Craig Newell won with 11 points, second was Jeff Chapin with 9 then Mike Kemp with 8. The photo shows the angst and bitterness Jeff and Mike had for having to settle for ‘not the winner’, while Craig was gleaming. Better luck next time boys. The good news is there is a next time for Jeff and Mike, but Craig, you are out! You can only win once. Yours truly won the both KOM’s. Thirteen rides so far, two had to be rescheduled to Wednesdays due to weather, this was one of them. Last week we had 24, this week half that. There was a strong crosswind coming from the west, but once we headed east we were flying. The night was stunningly beautiful otherwise, warm, sunshine, in Michigan you have to enjoy these days, we only get so many. Thanks again to Mike Williams for donating the gift certificates from Denny’s Central Park Cycle, and for the tubes and CO2s. The tube/CO2 program will work this way, if you flat on the ride you get a new tube and CO2 at the ride, compliments of CABO. I am up and out, until later, ride on.
