Willow Run TT
The team represented very well at the Willow Run TT this past Saturday, despite windy conditions and cool temps. Below are the results. Additionally, one of our tri-teammates (Matt Wright) took 11th out of 59 in his age group at the National City Half Marathon in Kalamazoo. Just goes to show you that cross training is alive and well on the Team!
3rd: Danny and Kathy (tandem)
11th: Jonah Curtis
35th: Jack Miner
37th: Micheal Shong
5th: Angela Bowers
3rd: Nate Leininger (junior)
4th: Mark Sherman (junior)
5th: Jacob Wolin (junior)
Bloomer Mountain Bike Race
Sport racer Josh Radi continued his great first-season race efforts and provided the following summary of Sunday's race. So far he has a 1st and 2nd place finish to his credit, but racing is an unpredictable sport and sometimes things are just beyond your control. Good job on being persistent and you'll be ready for Fort Custer this week!
"Today I raced sport 19-29. There were 8 racers total in my class. Today, well, just wan't my day. I have to admit I'm a little superstitious, and when I saw my number was 1134, which inversed spells hell, I assumed today would not be good. Anyway, on the first straight away, I was in second place and as I shifted from the front middle ring to the front big ring, my chain completely popped off. So as the people from my class and the people from the 20-35 age group passed me, I was finally able to get it back on.
Then within a few turns I had passed the 20-35 guys and was on the rear tire of 3rd and 2nd place in my class. I tried to pass 2 times while using the "on your right" technique, but after repeated failures by the arrogant rider in front of me I just tried to pass even when I knew he wouldn't give me room, and I ended up eating tree bark. After this, I didn't really have a chance to catch them however I maintained my 4th place position, and beat their lap times by over a minute on the last lap.
Overall I was happy that I wasn't seriously injured, and well, my front forks got tweaked a little bit, but nothing the Team Active Mechanics can't fix (I hope). So thats my news for the weekend. I'm pumped to be at Fort Custer next weekend, and I hope to see all of you there."
Cohutta 100
Dan Frayer completed the Cohutta 100 race last weekend (April 19th), a stop on the National Endurance Mountain Bike Series. For a complete report, visit Dan's blog and check out the pictures and recap. Great job Dan. Rumor has it he's shooting for a top-15 finish in this series...
Trans Iowa Race Update - Joe Wins Again!!!!!
Joe Kucharski returned to the great state of Iowa to defend his 2007 Single Speed championship in the 300+ mile, self-supported mountain bike race called Trans Iowa. Visit the official website at http://www.transiowa.blogspot.com for audio updates from Guitar Ted. Conditions were terrible, with mudslides, trees across the road, etc... making this year one of the toughest races ever. The race started with 55 participants and only five riders finished, as the race directors elected to cut the race "short" at just over 240 miles. Stiff winds with speeds in the 8 MPH range (even some were actually blown off their bikes) made for a very tough event. We're proud of you Joe and look forward to your update after you get some sleep!
Coming up next weekend is the Fort Custer Stampede Mountain Bike Race and several Team members will be racing. Stop out May 4th to watch the fun and be sure to swing by the team tent and say hello.
Ride on...
