Tour De London Recon Ride
Cumberland Cycles Team members, Roger Whitlock, Jack Evans, JT, DR Swanner, Dave Stewart and Nick Cabrinni all went over to London this morning to meet with some folks from the London Bike Shop to recon the Tour De London Road Race Course. It was a great, and cohesive ride with everybody staying together. Our pace was quick at about 18.5 MPH and the relief over the 41 mile loop was about 2000 feeet. Our club time trial specialist, Roger Whitlock (affectionately known as "Roe-shey") was at or off the front the entire day. A true hammer head Roger is, and he considers sitting in the wheels for the weak! That is why he has been placing 3rd and 4th in regional sanctioned Time Trials this summer!
For our course ride, Jack stayed on Rogers wheel most of the day and launched a couple of attacks as did JT... But in the end, Jack and JT were content to let Roe-Shey pull the train down the rail.
Dave S. launched two very significant attacks over the course of which Jack and JT benefited greatly. DR was able to attack and bridge back up to Roe-Shey late in the ride as well. Nick rode consistently.
We want to thank David, our tour guide from the London shop. He was very strong and was always right with us!
