The Speed Disparity Continues...
Alan Burgess continued his rough-housing of the ride and ended getting back solo. It all started coming up to the turnaround sprint. Turning onto Welch Rd, Alan was off the front with a narrow gap, but then Hacker jumped up and joined him. No other riders went, and those two kept on the gas and were able to work together well enough to stay off the front. Behind. Ben Bruce, the Full Nalini, and Rob Dux were working up at the front in case the two up front faulted. That didn't happen. Hacker jumped around Alan to collect the points but then sat up as the rest of the pack came up.
Alan stayed on it and was going for the home run ball after the sprint. Ben Bruce and Ryan O'hara chased hard and were about to connect in order to make it another Cheshire Cycle sweep but Henk and Max from CVC charged hard into the interchange area to get across the gap and sew up the chase. Alan caught a green light near the I84 interchange and kept on motoring along and was soon out of sight. He would end up taking all the rest of the marbles tonight. The peleton got caught behind a bunch of lights once again, and talk of changing up the loop to avoid route 10 started in earnest. We'll see if a viable alternate route actually comes to fruition.

More fake news. Alan did not stay away the whole time. I know this because after I was first at the Stop n Shop sprint point, Alan rode up to me asking me to join him for the ride back down rt. 10. I declined as I think he may be a robot from Westworld with super-human strength...
