 Rolling Pins at a Proper Shootout

The ride definitely started to take shape for the season tonight. Medium sized crowd out and the weather was good. there was strong guys lined up and ready to go.

Right from the gun a couple guys escaped down route 10 but wisely checked up as they turned off of Root 10 onto the back roads. From there there was a couple of early attacks but nothing really stuck.

French rolled off the front early on after a corner and was allowed to get up a little bit of a gap. All hell broke loose when Andrew Suzuki hit the front hard going up the first rise on Mountain Road Turner's gap brought back soon after, leaving Hacker, Hunter P, Turner French, and a couple of others haning onto the train for dear life. 

The pack mostly stayed together... there was a few that got dropped right away. Pace was high all the way up until the light on Mountain Road which was, this gave everybody a chance to collect their breath and make sure their affairs were in order for the next of kin.

 On to Moss Farms the ride got going a little more slowly but it was the generally the same characters up front. Little T attacked hard going past the chicane up to Marion. He was allowed to roll and stayed off the front until somewhere around the industrial park. 

This was the last week for the medium loop and Turner hit it hard turning onto Prospect Street. He was given a gap that stretched out to about 100 meters at one point. A solid gap but one that Suzuki would eventually take on and bring back. A 90 sec effort brought it back by the intersection. Riders stayed from there as everybody licked their wounds. This lead to good showdown on the greenhouse climb. Once again Suzuki hit the front and let it rip for a couple minutes straight up the hill. This broke off a gap with Sean Hurley, Hunter P, Turner French, Hacker, and that's pretty much it. Eventually it would just be Suzuki and Turner French at the top collecting the points and with enough of a gap to roll off the front through the light and the intersection and never to be seen for the rest of the night. Behind, Little took what was left in the field sprints.

Great ride everyone!
