may 2007 recap…
another month is drawing to a close and with it more races are in the books, but we’re just at the beginning of the season and there’s a lot more racing still out there calling.
the 24 hour expert team went down to georgia this month and took second overall with 30 laps in 24 hours. this edition of the team included mike klasmeier from the temecula team, jonathan wheaton, kent baake, and steven viers, a new member of the city bikes team, but a long time racer in the DC area.
the team placed 2nd in both the overall and expert standings with another expert team taking the class and overall win with a jaw-dropping 33 laps. rumor has it that they’ll be coming to big bear and moab to challenge for the series, so it looks like we’ve got a good fight on our hands.
the month kicked off with two local favorites, the 12 hours of lodi farm, in fredericksburg, va and the kick-off of the michaux series. at lodi our men’s expert took the win on the last lap of the race and at michaux, matt donahue took 2nd in the 25-mile senior category.
the mid-atlantic super series got underway this month. this series based in southern pennsylvania, northeastern maryland, delaware, and new jersey draws racers from a wide area, and several city bikes racers ventures north for the first rounds of the race: “on the rocks at french creek” and “the escape from granogue”. anna and lorena represented at french creek, and joe, mike scardaville, joel, and anna all raced at granogue, posting good results.
whats on tap for june? well the super series continues, the reborn virginia series concludes at the massenutten hoo-ha, granny heads home to west virginia for the 24 hours of big bear and at the end of the month, that dc midweek favorite - wednesdays at wakefield - kicks off.
next team meeting is monday the 4th of june, 7:30pm at temperance hall on georgia avenue in dc. the new jerseys are in, so make sure you come by to pick yours up.
see you out at the races and on the trails…
