Tuesday the 7th

Gettin Rowdy on a Tuesday

The ride came flying out of the blocks with a distinctly different tone tonight. The Cheshire Cycle crew kept guys flying off the front all night, and it definitely was wearing on the more curmudgeonly dudes in the pack.

First off the front was Hunter P again. He stayed clear from the turn off Route 10 all the way to the first riser on Mountain Road. Then Burgster went clear along with Ryan O. Those 2 kept a gap going all the way down Mountain Rd. Hunter P took one last flyer before the light, but it was red.

On Moss Farms, Burgster was back at it. This time, Chris C, Cassie, and Billy Thomspon also jumped on. That group of four held a gap all the way in thru the chicane and onto Marion. The Sernyak was vital in the effort to drag them back into the fold. Little T tried to sneak across the gap before it was all sewn back up but it was to no avail. Most everyone felt the dynamic pace of the night and guys were all over the road.

Once over 322 the pace calmed down a little but soon after, Burgster, Ryan O, and Sernyak were at it again. Hunter P had another attack. Dillon P and Ravenberg also got involved with attacks off the front. Heading onto Welch, Dillon P, Burgster, Billy Thompson and a couple of others nursed a small gap. Chris C charged across it, taking along Hunter P, and then Hacker followed suit. At the base of the hill toward the corner, Little T got a substantial jump and ripped thru the intersection first. He next rode a super intense 60 seconds to hold off a charging Ryan O and Burgster to get the sprint points.

Ryan O kept on it and got thru one of the next lights. Behind, Hunter P squeezed thru the light as well, much to the disapproval of the guys behind. Sernyak was next in line and chose to stop. From there, Hunter P and Ryan O stayed on the gas, got another light in their favor before getting back into Cheshire and took it all the way back home for the breakaway points.

The race jury would go on to penalize Hunter P 5 points for blowing thru the red light.

Next week, it's put out or shut up week at the SG ride!
