Deodate Road Race

I know pictures would be nice.. I think so too!.. We need to get a staff photographer... Great weekend for racing which is good as the season is winding down and there are only a few more road races left. This weekend was Deodate Road Race and we had a good group of racers. Even thought it wasn't as hot as it has been it was still pretty hot.. The course had very little shade and that made for hot racing, cramping and just plain great fun.. I vote the the promoters plant some shade trees in the parking field for next year.. A couple of big ring climbs at the beginning and middle of the 5 mile loop kept the racers honest as you couldn't just hang in and sprint the finish. The team's results were good and I'll post a link as soon as they are available. Best finishers in the Cat 4 were Matt with 4th and Chuck with 6th and in the Cat 3/4 Jim with 8th and Bryan with 11th.

This race serves as a final tune up for the Tour de Christiana with a Road Race, Time Trial and Crit. The Crit is a fun fan friendly race on Sunday in downtown Christiana. If your looking for an exciting cycling race to watch make sure you don't miss the Crit...
