Tri-State Velo

Dateline Sutton, Quebec, Canada, 6/27/09 - Despite three rain-soaked, back pain ridden stages and a very tough field here at the Coupe des Ameriques Stage Race, I am pleased with the results, so far.

The following is TSV’s Junior, Tom Schubert’s account of the Bethlehem Crit on Saturday, May 30 and the Bob Rodale Fitness Park Criterium on Sunday, May 31, 2009. . .enjoy:

Thank you to everyone that supported the race. Special thanks to our amazing TSV volunteers who came out at 5:30 AM to make sure that registration ran smoothly and the course was safe for all.

 We hope to see you next year.

 Ron Ruggiero

Promoter, TSV

Here is the final start list for the event tomorrow.

I'll be sending out an email later today to all registered participants with some final information on parking etc.

Thanks to all that make this event worth the effort. I appreciate your continued support.

Well it was a wet one today in Philly. But another great result for the 55+ men's team. Chris Hepp got his first win "ever" with a really heads-up strong ride in the 45+-55+ combined race.

Just a quick note, just got back from the annual PCA meeting...will have more to announce on it but the biggest news is the proposal to change men's masters age categories to 35,45 and 55 passed.

Hey Everyone- I've Posted Photos and Winner's Names of November 16th Banquet and Awards

Four of us met early at Falls Bridge yesterday to avoid the hassles of getting around the Philadelphia Distance Run. Annie, Andrea, Steve and me took off on a nice ride to Collegeville. It must be squirrel season because along the way, we (or I) kept having some close encounters with them.

Sutton, Quebec – 4 - 6 July, 2008- I love and dread this event. This was the nineteenth time in twenty years I have come to the Coupe des Ameriques Stage Race. I’ve come to Sutton one time just to ride and share this beautiful area of Quebec, twice when I was too injured to ride and sixteen times to race. This year I came to compete.
