A running account of the "race without an entry fee"..... The Tuesday night ride

The SG invades Renschler Field! 

In honor of the final Renschler Field race, all were encouraged to head up to East Hartford to race there.

        The B race had some Sleeping Giants in there. But the vast majoity were out in the A race. There were a bunch of CVC guys, Tom Krol, Julio L, Little T, Dan Smith, Hunter P and Joe K from Cheshire, and a few other notables. Right off the gun, the 'Rent crew was active. Aaron B and Keith Mullaly were quickly into a move up the road. A little reshuffling of the deck gave Hunter P and Aaron B a chance to attack off the front. They got to work on a gap over the course of 2 laps. Then true to form Geno V came charging across the gap with Dan Smith in tow. That made a four off the front with a gap that was going out. Dan Smith dropped off and then it was 3. They made 2/3rds a lap advantage on the field and then Geno hit the other two with an attack that put back Hunter P.
      The leaders would eventually lap the field. But the pace ramped up when that happened. A bunch of guys then tried to attack of the front of the pack for a chance at glory. Jeffy Gelt, the Crowels. A few others. The attack/counter attack went on for the last 10 laps but it was eventually Geno and Aaron B busting out of the field to sprint it out for the end. It was a close bike throw that Geno got at the last moment.
