We Brought it On!

The 2012 edition of the Bring It On race produced two wins for local bike racers.

In the “A” race, Gainesville Cat. 1 Eric Stubbs (Gearlink) took the win in a two-man break dangling off the front of a dozen or so pursuers.

The “B” race and some juicy primes were won by Port St. Lucie's Randy Walker (T.C. Werks). Interestingly, second place was St. Augustine 13 year old Hans Vandenberg (Slipstream Craddock Jr. Development).

The women’s race, and most of the primes were won by Gainesville’s Cindy Tompkins racing for the host-team, Cycle Logic of Gainesville.

A Special thanks to Tony Cousins, owner of Bike Works, for helping sponsor and provide multiple lap primes for racers of all categories as well as Super Cool and Bikes & More for their prime contributions. Cycle Logic cycling team would like to thank all the volunteers who helped make the race possible and all the great spectators who came out and supported our local race.

Cat4 State Cyclocross Race recap

Little Everglades Ranch, Great Race, Great Venue
by Ed Dunne


About 20-30 men lined up for the Cat4 state cyclocross race. And we were off! There was a hard initial sprint on grass to the first descent and then a hard left, someone went down. The main group dissected around him and went up a steep grade, several off-camber turns and down again through gravel and sand.

Everybody was mostly together, until we went into a wooded area that had deep soft soil with little grass cover. It graded up twice and then back into deep sand, which led into a barn! Through the barn, around the corner and soon we were heading for the first barrier. One barrier, two barrier... Soon there were stairs, one step, two..run, jump, pedal, pedal.

A couple of laps past and I found myself in the lead. I tried to go a little harder to put a bit of space between the following six guys, BUT, On bunny hopping out of the barn at a clip, I turned too hard on a grass corner and the back wheel went out from under me and I was down...One, two, about 5-6 guys rode past. I was a bit dishevaled and disorientated, but I quickly jumped back up on the bike, peddled and discovered my gears were not shifting, yikes! I saw the lead pack leave me. Low and behold the gears starting shifting again, and I was soon catching them.

Caught most folks and began to get into a tempo with the main lead guy. On some of graded portions of the course, I began to pass him and soon I was about 20-30 seconds clear. I kept peddling to the finish line and discovered I had won!
