8/3/10 – Be careful what you ask for, you might get it


August Sprint Series - Sponsored By Capital Fund Title Services
We’re not sure if this was what Steve Smith had in mind when he came up with the idea to donate over $1000 in cash and prizes for the August Sprint Series, but we know what we got! Banky, Brian and Jeff went off from the gun to try to secure bonus points for a breakaway. While they were still away Cameron got the idea he would try to bridge. Well, nothing ventured… I snapped this shot of Cameron when we passed him.

Banky was the first to go in the break then Brian dispelled of Jeff. Well, as strong as Brian is we played it perfectly. He was on his own for over 20 minutes and when we caught him Alan hit him hard and got a gap. We gave Brian no help and in fact I sat on his wheel and endured five attacks but he could not cover and Alan won the first sprint. Mark took off early for the 2nd sprint and held off the group for solid breakaway points, nice work Mark! Jeff just nipped Alan at the 3rd sprint line with a tailwind. Then Brian shut down the carnival and took all the other prizes for the day. It was hot, and it was fast. Start to finish it may not have been our best elapsed time, but the dynamics of the competition made it the hardest night of the year to date. So Brian walked away with a gift certificate for dinner at Eastwood Towne Center and two tickets to a movie at NCG.
Yo, Brian, I think Conan the Barbarian is showing next Tuesday at 6:00 PM. Podium was 1st Brian, 2nd Jeff, 3rd Webbcorp.
