The C.C.R. bike scene

We won! The pace was hard and the riders all wanted to cap off the series with a win. But alas, to the cheers of the motivating crowd, Epic Velo wins!

The race started with attacks and replies (skip,dillon, jeremy, bruce, gregg) including a sick tough acceleration by skip and jeremy. Joe took 2nd in the prime and then the pace went nuts! Dillon's heart rate averaged 185bpm over the whole race!!! The team had torn themselves apart responding and attacking! Chris B got out on a solo break for three laps, and the other teams finally had to do something. Chris B and Joe were the only survivors to see the last lap. The team did what it could.

Standing by the side line the bell rang for final lap. Instantly the pace went up. The peleton, a shell of its former self, accelerated to a inhuman pace. Laying the bikes over into corner # 1. Then out of view. It's quiet while their on the back stretch. Last corner, bikes and men going so fast you can't even pick out your team mates! Then, as the finish line seemed to sprint toward the riders, Joe K's white helmet and sunglasses emerged from the hectic power of the front sprinters! He Win's! Cheers and claps! Laughs and high fives! Then it's quiet again. This is the reason we race. This is why we all match. This is what the training is for. Not the face of the losers but the face on the winners, your team. Team Epic Velo.

This race had all the members of Epic Velo doing some top notch racing! Bruce, Chris B, Dave, Dillon, Gregg, Joe K, Skip, and W were the soldiers on the front line of battle today! It was windy and chilly, with the sun poking through to warm up the circuit of concrete pain. The pace was fast from the get-go with Attacks and responses coming Quick(Skip, Dave,Dillon)

The bell rang for the prime lap and the guys form E.v. responded! Skip pulled hard and Bruce picked it up. Bruce pulled all the way to the last corner and 40 yards up the back straight when Dillon pulled out from behind him to win the prime by two bikes over a Cyclonaut rider. Joe K. also put in a hard effort for the prime but came in third.

The 2nd half of the race was Epic Velo all over the front all the time! The attacks from E.V. came hard and quick and the peleton was getting their screws turned! All 8 of the Epic Velo fleet took turns working hard up front and pulling the snot out of the peleton! W dropped his chain and was out for the last 1/4 of the race. No worries, the E.V. squad was determined to dominate! So dominate they did! The bell sounded and the lead out began! A Benidorm rider jumped early having visions of breaking away for the last lap!? Not so! Chris B. hopped on his wheel with Dillon then Joe. The benidorm guy blew up and Chris took the lead and charged down the back straight with all he had, pulling Dillon and Joe. Dillon took over and pulled into the wind for Joe at 31 mph! Joe picked it up and got the sprint win by a couple bikes! Fast and well executed!

The team as a whole is responsible for wearing out the peleton and leading out with intelligence! This was a desicive and well earned win!

Well done boys!

This was the race to make a statement! The opportunities to score points are running out and we needed to do well to keep ourselves in the hunt for the lead!

The race started with Epic Velo controlling the pace and keeping it together (Skip, Dillon, Dave)

The prime bell sounded and Dillon, Jeremy and Chris A. went for it with Adams getting 2nd (3 points)

After the sprint Chris B. decided that was his time to break! Two others went and the break was on! The three became two and the false pacing and blocking began by E.V. to insure the high place of the break. Epic Velo stomped on every effort to bridge up to the break (Skip, Jeremy, Dillon,Bruce, Dave) and the two up front got 40 sec. on the Field in no time! This got a few people in the peloton upset!!! One Cycle-not guy resorted to swearing at everyone in E.V. colors and we just responded with "race tactics, man"...

This same guy, in his usual all over the place style, took out Chris A and they both went down. Jeremy stopped to see if Adams was all right and the cyclonot loser proceeded to offer to fight Jeremy!

The break succeeded and Epic Velo got 2nd in the overall (Chris B.) 5 points. 8 total

This was once again, a fast, sketchy race! There were attacks and chase downs! Dillon and Skip worked hard to keep things together. Jeremy, Gregg and W worked to keep Chris A. & B. safe and fresh. The result? The work to keep things together (Dillon + Skip) paid off. It was a large Field sprint at the end of the race with, our two fresh guys ( Gregg Jer W), Chris A. getting 4th and B. getting 6th!
