Upcoming races

The team is rallying tomorrow morning to head to the Mill Creek Circuit race put on by MVC in Youngstown, OH. http://web.mac.com/ymcamera/MVC/MVC.html
It should be very similar to the Summit Freewheeler's Race at the Lakes series, Mill Creek will be a ~1 mile course that is closed to traffic.

Last week's Race for Alex was a really well run event and provided the opportunity to do two races (provided you were 30yo - we missed you Mike!). SBR had some really good teamwork and results: http://www.usacycling.org/results/index.php?permit=2008-854

In the Cat 4/5 race Pete Scacheri placed 5th overall in a STRONG 56 rider field. I finished 17th overall. David Trolio was 23rd overall, but finished 1st out of the Cat 5 field. MIchael Larimer was 31st overall and 4th place Cat 5, despite crashing after dropping his chain. Mike Nies graciously stopped to assist Michael when he crashed.

In the 2/3/4/5 30-39 Masters race, David Stiner made the break (which the rest of us very successfully blocked for), finished 4th overall and was listed as the 2nd Cat 3 finisher. After a good leadout train from Chris B and Michael L, I finished 12th overall and was the 2nd Cat 4 finisher. Michael Larimer still finished strong and while 15th overall, was the 1st and only Cat 5 rider. Chris Belowich finished right behind Michael in 16th. David Trolio wasn't able to do the Master's race due to a spring breaking on his cleat. Pete Scacheri ran out of water and pulled out with a lap to go.

In the 2/3/4/5 40-49 Masters race, Tom Keller finished 7th overall in a solo effort.
