Hello Crew!
Happy Holidays everybody! With the Thanksgiving week coming up, I didn't figure it was too early to wish it.
I do love this time of year. Today's (Sunday) team ride was just magnificent (at least to me). I just love this time of year - warm, sunny days after the leaves have peaked, and most of them are coming down. There is such an air of thanksgiving in these times. Thanksgiving for my very good, and respectable friends - all riding through our beautiful woods and county roads. To see everybody with such conditioning; well, it is simply heartwarming.
Mr. Aaron Denney hosted a northern Pulaski County ride last Saturday in which Adam and Jack joined Aaron for what I heard was a fantastically beautiful ride. Sundays ride saw Adam, Jack, Dr. Mark, Dr. Harvey, L'Pres Brad, and JT leave the Vision Center and head east on 192 ten miles out to Providence Road. We then Road the proposed spring race course... Up Providence to 1003, to 192 to Mt. Victory and back to the vision center on 192. The group was cohesive, and everybody is getting so strong. L'Pres Brad Herrman is becoming a very powerful rider and I think that he is going to really do well this spring as a CAT V. We will see Brad ranked this spring. The biggest change in Brads riding has been his ability to stay forward and recover very quickly after burst of intense efforts by the group. Adam continues to be very strong, and he commented today that his legs are coming back to life after some time off. He exploded up some of the hillsin manner reminiscent of his summer riding style. It is my understanding that Adam (who is eligible) will be upgrading from CAT V to CAT IV before the racing season starts. We will see Adam get himself ranked as a CAT IV this year just like he did as a V last year. Jack continues to pound the pavement, and he is becoming a force to recon with on the hills. He told me last month that he is going to focus on time trials and hills as he saw these as the areas that he could improve among his Masters field. Jack is also eligible for upgrade from a V to a IV and it is my hope that he upgrades soon. Mr. Aaron Denney is currently Ranked #1 in the USA CAT V Crit rider in is age group. While Aaron is eligible for upgrade to CAT IV, I think that he plans to remain a V until he gets some more race wins under his belt. Roger Whitlock is our time trial specialist, and Ithink he plans to remain a CAT V for the 2008 Season. Expect Roger to become nationally ranked in the time trial discipline next year! Charles Senters will race in 2008 as a CAT V and if he continues to perform as he has been the last few weeks, he will also become ranked nationally. As for me, JT, I will remain a CAT III as my recent request to upgrade to CAT II was declined.
We have several other folks to plan to road race next year who will enter the field as CAT V's. These hopefuls are Dr. Mark Henry, Dr. Harvey Scheleter, DR Swanner, Dave Stewart, Dave Zwick, Jeff Parmely, Jay Garman, Kerry Fain, Jenny Denney, Charlie Bailey (currently ranked), Nick Cabrini and several others.
Jeff Ekoniak, who raced as a Day-of-CAT V this past year, did extremely well in his events. If he decides to race again next year, he will enter the season as a V and so, if he can find the time to race a couple time a month, look for Jeff to become nationally ranked very quickly. Even though Jeff's actual road event experience places him as a CAT V competitor, he has placed well and will continue to place well in with CAT I, II's and Professionals Masters fields. Jeff certainly does not belong in the V field, but because of the USA Cycling Regs, that is where he must begin the 2008 season. We just have to find a way to get him to race most often. Maybe we could volunteer to help him at his company!
