We thank everyone that came out to support the race on Sunday. Although some fields were a little light in numbers, the racing was still very exciting and aggressive. I would like to send a special thanks to Gary Lakatosh, who does great job promoting and running the event, Dave Miller from the Big Guy Group for sound and results and all the USAC officials who ran a great event.

I have just completed the Coupe des Ameriques Stage Race here in Sutton, Quebec, Canada. Although I finished second on GC, I had a pretty good weekend. For three days I have been locked in a battle with John Sullivan, also 60 years of age, of Vancouver(Canada)Velo.

Very early Saturday morning Chris Wilson and I lined up for the Mengoni Grand Prix. This race is a New York classic. It does 7 quick laps around Central Park, starting at 6AM. This year's field was especially stacked given that the Chris Thater Memorial was the day after and just a short drive away.

After a few weekends of longer road races, races in which I have been struggling in due to climbs that come at the worst possible time in the race for me. I set off to Somerville N.J. on a mission for a good result. I got to the race two hours early, ready to get registered and watch a few races then slowly prep for my short Cat 2 race.
