Men’s 35+/Cat 4/5 Race

// July 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

We had a couple minor technical difficulties, but we are back online.

The Men’s 35+/4/5 Race is off. The leader, Mario Valesco, is 45sec off the front.

We need to give a special shout out to our sponsors. The Cooper folks have been fantastic and the use of their facilities has been greatly appreciated. Pat Lobb Toyota is here with their Toyota Tundra display and has been providing some much needed A/C. ROL Wheels is providing great support and Aruba Sports has a tent at the start of the finish line stretch.

The first Preme goes to Mario Valesco, 657.

The chase is on to catch the leader Mario Valesco.

The field is being decimated by the heat and the fast pace by the leaders, only small groups and solo riders are left as the leader continues to lap riders.

We have a crash on the back side of the course. No harm no fowl. Just a little road rash and a banged up bike, but nothing too serious.

The Race Results for the Men’s 35+/4/5: 1: Mario Velasco, 657
2: Carey Rouse, 668
3: Todd Hollenshead, 666
