Well Cindy has been posting most of racing info, but I've decided to get off my butt and give a race recap.
What a great racing Weekend. The team had great Results at Christiana with Kyle pulling off another GC 2nd in Cat 4 to go with his recent GC 2nd at Tour de Toona and Tim Getting GC 10th in Cat 3. Keith pulled a great finish at the Tour Of Medford Soloing the last 9 laps to take 1st place.. Best story of the Christiana weekend's was Kyle's Crit finish..
We get to the start finish line at the top of the hill in time to see the 2nd to the last lap of the Cat 4 Crit finish. We see Marty come over the top of the hill leading the pack and who's at the back of the pack, but Kyle... I thought to myself something must have happen to him and of course Kyle explained it all as he yelled out F#*K as he passed us. So I think what a shame the guy finished 1st in the Road race, but looks like he's going to have a crappy Crit. Then as the field charges up the hill on the final lap who's up on the front of the race but Kyle who takes 2nd place and Marty still there with an excellent 5th... what great job of moving thru the pack.. We catch back up with Kyle in the parking area and he explains how he was off the front in a break only to get tangled up in the corner going down in the orange netting... He scraped he's way back to the pack and then pulled the rabbit out of the hat on the last lap.. Nice Job...
I didn't start the weekend with an optimistic outlook , but had a good time and really enjoyed the Crit on Sunday very fast and technical .. Becoming my favorite type of race.

And then there were nine
Matt did the Deodate race on Saturday.
It was warm.
Okay, in fact it was hot.
Very hot.
There was no shade on the course.
The refs were even pacing the riders.
Only 9 riders finished the course for the Cat 3 race.
Keith was offering cold beer at the feed zone.
A break got away and Jim chased, but wasn't able to catch them. He finished 3rd.
Matt finished 6.
Matt wants everyone to know that it was hot.
Updated Correction: Matt wants me to reiterate that it was #^@#%%$ hot.
