A chilly Saturday morning with threatening clouds in West Branch - site of the State Road Race championships. The course consisted of a 27 mile hilly loop. Masters 40, 50 & 60 had to go 3 laps for a 81 mile race. John Adamson threw down and missed a nasty crash to win Gold... again!
Our teamie Kevin Tempel who has returned from a year Down Under - was in great racing form in the 4's who did 2 laps - a super finish although he wanted more... don't we all.
John thought he would sit in this group of four heading to the up hill and into the headwind finish. But NO - he couldn't resist and was compelled to push it - of Course!
John breaking the group of 4 apart as it is still up hill after the feed zone. This after racing 80 Hilly miles....
Across the Finish line with Adamson in Gold - way to race for the team.
An excellent day of racing - oh yes, and Kat finished 4th in the W4s (2 laps) - in the money but no heavy metal to bring home. Always next year. See full results here.

Kat - Thanks for the report. It was a very good day of racing, indeed.
ReplyDeleteKat did a very good job of racing - she stayed with the leaders while other just continued to drop off the pace ... it was classic racing
John
