Week 9 Results: Sturbridge and Palmer

The racing in central Mass this past weekend was fast and furious. Fields were very large and very stacked with talent all around.. so much so that Matt Kressy lamented after the 35+ event that "a 10th place here is bigger than a win at Myles Standish".. and of course at this point he had not yet discovered that he did indeed make it into the top ten. Some fine riding by our team is really putting Millwork One Racing and WeeBIKE.com on the map! Nice work everyone!

Weeks 4, 5 and 6: Wells Ave and Charge Pond

The weekend of March 22-23: Wells Ave was attended by Brendan and Murat. A 12 person break motored away early and lapped the field! This frustrated a large number of folks who were snoozing at the back when 'the move' happened. Such is bike racing.
The weekend of March 29-30: Wells Ave again! Joe, Mike and Murat did the A race- not so well attended this time due to the Michael Schott Memorial race going on same day.. This time, a six person break escaped and was kept in sight of the field until the very end. Lots of blocking by a couple of teams proved effective though, and the break stayed away. Third in the field sprint for Murat was no consolation after so much hard work chasing!
We had others who ventured to the Charge Pond racing on both Saturdays. Please visit the blogs of Scott and Brendan for more information on those events.
The weekend of April 5-6 featured more training race action up at Wells Ave. Apparently the field swelled in size this week, making it a little bit easier for Mike, Brendan, Scott and Joe to take shelter in the field from the damp wet coldness. A field sprint this time! Nothing got away.
Week 7 is almost here! The first 'real' race of the 2008 season is upon us at the:
6th Annual Chris Hinds Memorial CriteriumCharlestown, RI
Look for Joe and Mike in the Cat 4 event
Scott, Brendan and Murat in the Pro-Am event
Mike, David and Murat in the 35+ event
Lynn in the Women's event
