Tri-State Velo

 The four of us meet at the foot of the base of the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. We are insignificant: merely four more humans in a crowd of well over 1700 other cyclists!

2010 Coupe des Ameriques - by Steve Lehman - At the sign-in for this 27th edition of the Coupe des Ameriques Stage Race in Sutton, Quebec it was apparent that this was going to be a special year. The number of entrants was greater than any previous year by an astounding 100 riders.

This weekend (July 17 & 18, 2010)Tommy Schubert and Matt Waller were home alone. That is, with Nick Roeder and Booey Hottenstein out of town at the Tour of l'Abititbi in Canada, they were on their own at the Nicole Reinhart Memorial Tour de FCCC near Allentown.

If one picture is worth a thousand words, then this one says it all.

Nick Roeder won the final stage of the 2010 Fitchburg Stage Race, the Downtown Criterium. I'll have more to say on this as time is short for me and I have to get on with my other life...and work!

But the boys executed a perfect race yesterday. With Nick taking the win in a stunning last lap solo move.

Today was the individual time trail. This event usually decides the final standing or at least the final podium of any stage race.

I have to post them hastily this morning since we are getting the juniors ready for an 8 AM start of the final days criterium.
Today's plan for the criterium is to try for a stage podium with either Nick or Booey.

Another good day today, good but long. Up at 6 AM and finished around 6 PM. Beautiful day, clear but it really got hot.

Just a quick update from Fitchburg. Terrible ride up in traffic..actually had to stop in Greenwich, CN to get a room because of bumper to bumper
traffic on I-95. Got into Fitchburg around 9:30 AM finally. Missed the junior race but here is what the team did today.

Juniors: Cat. 1/4  Strong international field of 84 riders:
Tommy Schubert: 22nd

The past month has been an extremely hectic one for me. I have been hopping on and off airplanes every weekend for the past four weeks. Why am I subjecting myself to such "delicious" ( ahem) "USAirways Meal-in-a-box meals" and "Air-in-a-can" surroundings so often?

Here are the results for the 2010 Philadelphia Amateur Time Trial. I have ammended some errors that the riders have reported to me.

I want to thank all the participants, support staff and our title sponsor, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, for making it a great success.

 It is my hope to make sure that this event continues and gets better every year.
