Summer End Brings out the Medium(?!) Loop
It was another fast, fast ride tonight!
The mid-point sprint is no more... The ride went through a medium loop. Chris C and Steffen H led everyone through the new section.
The sprint up to Hickory Hill was fast. Sean Cahill put in a couple of significant attacks to spread things out. Alan B and Hongster traded jabs from there, without going all in. Chris C and Hunter P had a quick pull at the top. Sean Cahill was the first to jump for the sprint, but Hunter P was able to come around to get the sprint.
From there, the ride stayed fast. Chris C led everyone onto Coleman Rd quickly, and then Hunter P jumped hard as the first hill there started to kick. Then Hongster and Alan attacked the next rise, and only Sean Cahill, Hunter P, The Sernyak, and Brian G went with them. The break of 6 stayed off the front, as the chase behind couldn't quite get organized.
For the finish, Hongster and Alan B traded early attacks, with Sean Cahill forced to cover all of them. Hunter P then attacked, putting Sean in the position to chase one last time with 300 meters to go. Hunter P jumped for the line, with the Sernyak also jumping. The two went to the line, with Hunter P taking it by half a wheel.
Great ride everyone! Next week, the Cheshire team will be hanging out at Mikro after the ride. All are invited to swing by and enjoy a post-ride beer or snack!
