Hello Crew!
Aaron Denney takes the lead in the Cumberland Cycles Points System
Mr. Aaron Denney has been racing his "tail end" off this summer and having just completed the Allanti Classic Stage Race in Nashville, Tennessee (RR, TT and Crit) with a 4th place over all General Classification in the CAT V Under 30 field, Aaron has now over taken Mr. Adam Bourne as our top club points earner! Congratulations to Aaron and we want to thank him for all of his hard work and intense effort!
Also appearing at portions of the Allanti Classic were Jack Evans (Masters 40+ road race), Adam Bourne (CAT V 30+ road race), Roger Whitlock (CAT V 30+ time trial) and JT (Masters 30+ Crit).
Adam Bourne captured the highest placement of any Cumberland Cycles rider with second place in the road race! Roger Whitlock captured 4th place in the time trial. Aaron Denney got 4th in the Crit, 5th in the time trial and 18th in the road race. JT and Jack DNF'd - Jack due to illness and JT due to heat exhaustion.
The Allanti Classic Criterium - JT's Recap
0.5 mile course around the Tennessee Titian's Stadium.
40 minutes
Cumberland Cycles Crew Racing team fielded a total of four racers in the Allanti Classic in Nashville, Tennessee over the weekend. Aaron Denney participated in all three events and earned Omnium Points and got a 4th place General Classification result. Jack Evans and Adam Bourne raced in the Road Race, Roger Whitlock raced in the time trail and JT raced in the Criterium. Bob Brooks, a friend of Cumberland Cycles who is a USCF Coach and races for the Indiana Hand Center, also raced the entire stage race.
JT raced in the masters 30+ race along with Bob Brooks. The start time was 1 PM, Sunday, Somerset time and the course was held on the black, black asphalt parking area around the Tennessee Titian's Stadium. The temperature was 98 F. It was about a half mile course with six hard corners and the pace for the Maters 30+ race was simply "chain-blue-lightening" fast! The race went for 40 minutes, and JT and Bob raced well. A solo rider from team Juris got away from the pack very early. JT spent some time up near the front for the first half of the race, but then the heat took its toll, just at about the time Bob Brooks came to the front and attacked. Bob got clear with about ten other riders, so JT did not work to pull Bob (a cumberland cyclesfriend) back in. But the solo Juris Rider lapped the main field, and so Juris sent two team riders to the front of the main pack to keep the pace hot so no other breakaways would re-enter the main field. The race leader simply hung on to the main pack, automatically winning the race so long as no other rider caught the main field. So once the race leader lapped the main field, Juris accelerated the race to speeds that JT simply was unable to maintain in the heat! Also as a result of the Juris activity, the ten man breakaway that Bob was in was also caught, but Bob held out for an 8th place finish. JT dropped out with three laps to go (1.5 miles left) do to heat exhaustion.
The pace of this race was well in access of 25 MPH.
