We're Going to have to Paint Lines on the Road!
The rides are dwindling down to the last couple. The group out tonight was about 17 riders strong. Got started slowly but then Noah Black was there to push the pace in the early back roads of Cheshire. The biggest noteworthy event tonight was Dillon and Hunter P escaping off the front by sliding through the light at route 68 and Mountain Road. 45 seconds earlier Dillon P had surged hard off the front with Hunter on his wheel. The pack was content to let them go but then regretted the decision after seeing the traffic light situation. Those two kept going in the break and meanwhile behind the peloton avoided having to wait for a full light cycle before getting going again.
The
chase was on in earnest and by the end of the industrial park, turning
onto West Johnson, it was all coming back together. The ride stayed
together from there. Going up the greenhouse climb, the pace was slower
than normal. it was uneventful with no attacks. Hunter P led the group
through the light At the top of the hill and then jumped early for the
Sprint. He was able to hold off little T by inches. Going back into
Hamden, Dan Smith put down a couple of attacks but going into the finale
it was all together. Little T got payback and was able to take the
Sprint by a country mile. Hunter P and Noah Black rolled in afterward.
Great
ride everyone! See you at the New Haven Grand Prix Friday night! Look
for Dan Dudzik in the dark corner at College and High Street, taking
blinds on Ben Wolfe in the Pro race between cat calls to the Yale students walking by.
