Dec 19 – Ride Recap
22nd December 2009 by brtoone
Excellent turnout even with the cold weather. Everybody was ready for some points finally. The Cat 5/Women attack zone was FAST from the start. In the end it was John Adams (Alabama Masters) making it first to the TNT fireworks entrance, followed closely by Robert ?, Jennifer Schulbe (USA Cycling), Amy Gravlee (Kenda), and Martin Miller (?). The Sterrett attack zone saw Darryl Seelhorst (Tria Cycling) and Warren St. John (NY Velocity) work together to attack early and hold it all the way to the finish – although Pat Allison (Myogenesis) and Sammy Flores (Tria Cycling) just caught Warren at the line with me (Brian Toone, Tria Cycling) inches behind for 5th place.
I wasn’t in the second attack zone, but Jacob wrote up a great report for it:
Lennie attacked on the first hill, and Wes jumped to him. They came back at the top of the first hill and everybody kinda sat
up. Morgan then drilled it hard and lifted the pace. Nearly at the top of the 2nd hill Pat attacked and Lennie chased. West Point guy went
after him and Darryl followed. Darryl caught them and Len came over Pat for 2nd. I swung out of the line on the downhill to start the
sprint. Sammy wound it up and I hopped his wheel and came past him. We were coming fast but I think Pat held us off with a throw at the line.
If so, Pat 3rd, me (Jacob) 4th, Sam 5th, Brock 6th.
Thanks Amy for updating me with the women’s result – I’ve updated the points spreadsheet.

The second attack zone was another breakaway. Darryl rolled off after lennie and Wes came back and Gregg(West point) Bridged up to Darryl. Darryl Stuck it and Gregg got rolled up. I’ve got another recap on my site and predictions for next ride.

I dont know who all checks these posts…and I dont want to use it misuse it but I wanted to let everyone know that Im starting a indoor group session on thursday nights at 6:00 beginning the first thursday after new years. It will be roller specific workouts but trainers are welcome also. We will be doing aerobic intervals mostly. Threshold type stuff. No charge.
