PREVIOUS WEEKEND RACING ACTIVITY
Jack Evans, Roger Whitlock and JT all raced in the BMW River Gorge Stage Race in Chattanooga, Tennessee Saturday and Sunday. Scenic City Velo . Jack and JT raced in all three staged events, road race, time trial and Criterium. Roger did the time trial. This was a serious race with some serious competitors! And it was great fun! The road race course climbed two huge mountians. Jack, JT and Roger did very well. Results will be posted on the above link in a day or two.
The best result of the BMW weekend was Jack's 7th place, same-time finish in the crit! WAY TO GO JACK!!!!! Jack was racing against some of the strongest racers in the south! Roger also came in with a very respectable placing of ninth in the CAT V time trail. Remember that he is in his 40's, but was competing against all CAT Vs over the age of 18! JT was very happy with his road race result, 17th, but had mishaps in both the time trial and the crit! He narrowly escaped a bad crash in the crit.
Mr. Aaron Denney raced with Cumberland Cycles friend, Mr. Bob Brooks at the Fort Ben Stage Race in Indianapolis this weekend. Aaron placed 3rd in the road race, and 4th in the time trial in the CAT V/Open Categories. But he crashed in the crit and came up with some damage to his bike and his body wasn't able to finish well in the crit so he did not place overall. Aaron was set to place in the top three of the entire event until he crashed out of the crit. Aaron's efforts certainly produced our most significant results fo the weekend.
CRIT Simulation - Wednesday nights at Meece Middle School
Wednesday night, August 29th: Simulation starts at 6:30 PM
We only have short time to get ready for the tour de London, but I think we might have a good "race simulation" course. Yes, the racing season is almost over, but I think it would do us all well to do some fast cornering and some race simulation in the Meece Middle School Parking Lot. The course is six-cornered, 0.31 mile course and if we can ride this a couple of times before the Tour De London Crit, it might help acclimate some of our riders to CRIT riding.
We will conduct this exercise on Wednesday - August 29, beginning at 6:30 PM and again on Wednesday - September 5, beginning at 6:30 PM. Meet in the Meece Middle School Parking lot ready to go by 6:30.
This will be full-up race simulation Criterium - one bunch start with the first four laps neutral. Just like sanctioned crits, we will let the simulation go for forty-five minutes then have a five lap count down to finish.
Show up as early as 6 PM for a full explanation of the course and the process.
volunteers needed!!!.
OUR FINAL THREE WEEKS OF 2007
We have had a great season. Far, far in excess of what I had hoped for! We all need to pat ourselves on the back! But before we do that, lets keep the ropes tight on what we have coming up. After 62 bike or multi-sport races, and 187 individual starts, our final event will be our most fun and probably our most important. September 8th and 9th: Tour de London Downtown This is the Kentucky Road and Crit Championships and we have riders who will place in the top five or perhaps even win!
This race has an open/citizens category so place come out and race no mater what level you are at! Also, If you've been following us all year, please come out to watch the events! Sundays Crit will be the most exciting to watch.
In support of our final race the team and any club member interested will be doing hill repeats this Tuesday and Thursday - meet at the vision center at 6 PM... Haynes Knob at least five times.
There will also be a crit simulation in the Meece Middle School Parking Lot on Wednesday night at 6:30.
