Over and Out...
The season of SG ended this past Tuesday with a bottle rocket bang. There were only about 13 riders out, and by the end, just 6 or 7 rolled by Wentworths. A couple of riders got popped in the opening miles. Steffen Huber went straight, instead of turning on Mountain Rd. Then later Alan B broke a spoke in the industrial park. Alan got in a couple of attacks before that happened, and along with Hunter P and Chris C, were the main instigators of the ride. Hunter P tried getting away before the light on Rt 68\70, then towards the end of Moss Farms, then again with Chris C before the industrial park.
Those two, along with Ben Bruce tried getting away at the end of East Johnson Ave, but it was all together before "the climb" on Rt 70. Hunter P set down a pace that only Chris C, Mike McG and Ben Bruce were able to hold. Ben rolled thru the Hickory Hill sprint point and then the pace slowed down enough for the remaining riders to regroup.
The group stayed together until Hunter P attacked hard up the rise by Boulder Knoll. He split off a gap with Ben Bruce and Chris C, and then attacked solo going onto Tuttle. It was back together again for the run-in to the finish though. While the final 500m was fast, only Ben Bruce was game for sprinting into the darkness. He collects enough points (2 x 5) to draw to within 3 points of Little T and the podium for the year.
It was certainly an interesting, if not slightly dull year for the ride.Keep up the great work everyone.
NEXT UP: The soon-to-start Sunday rides, and DO NOT FORGET about the annual Sleeping Giant Ride kegger, better known as Cheshire CX, on November 3rd.

Funny how the ride prior to this ride was never recorded, where I beat Hunter P. at the rt. 70 hill sprint, which technically was a break away, and I also got the finishing sprint. Conveniently forgotten, yet the so called "points" are talked about. Laughable, typical, predictable and indefensible.

Ha. Fake news orchestrated by Hunter P ....the p is for pussy! He attacks every intersection in traffic. Put him in a crit and he looks overhis shoulder to see who is drafting..I 25 years older than him. He is a major league pussy!
Thanks Anonymous, but that a little further than I'd like to go...
