Ocala Road Race (Sunday)

Lambert Vaes (2nd) and Kerry Duggan (3rd) represented in Ocala for the orange and gray of Cycle Logic.

Basically Lambert and I plus a guy from Florida Velo attacked 50 racers on Pumpkin hill (Germantown) and managed to stay away the last 4 miles to finish 8 seconds ahead of the bunch. (and as it turned out 3 massive crashes near the finish)

It shouldn't have worked. The field must not have seen two guys with similar jerseys - but Mike said he and several Florida Velo racers immediately and agressively "got fat" on the front.  Sweet. 

Lambert go 2nd and I got 3rd. We didn't contest the Florida Velo guy winning because  A)  he was fresher and worked a bit harder  B) he was not in the GC so not a threat and C) we were so freakin' tired at the end and just kind of rolled across the line together all weary smiles.

Overall, none of us were in the GC money because we suck in time trials and have bikes areo as a 12 pack.

Note:  Look at Lambert, he SO needs to work on race number location. At least he used more than two safety pins this time. Sigh!.

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.
