Jonathan R. Dechau Memorial Time Trial

RESULTS

Thanks to all our volunteers and marshals who made the event run great! Thanks to Token for the carbon merchandise prizes and to Full Moon Vista for prizes and incredible on site support.

Special thanks for Chuck Hasenauer and the Dechau family for their efforts in organizing. We were able to generate over $800 for the Jonathan Dechau U23 fund - I think Jon would be proud.

In the women, Laura Igo prove to be a cut above the rest with a blazing time, while the men saw Jay Joselyn return to defend his title with a blazing time of 43:51

Racing 5-20;
Men's A - The first crit of the year saw smaller than usual crowds in the A field with several of the top players missing. Regardless, the action was furious from the gun with Caster (PC) bolting early with Spantchak (NYPS) in tow. The duo wouldn't be seen again until they lapped the field with 5 to go. Spantchak, in what must have been a strong show of force, beat Caster at the line. In the meantime, the field chose to try to find efforts to bridge rather than work together to bring back the escapees. R3/Nalgene had the numbers and after a few laps Mattern and Donato were free and clear. While they never did make contact, they were able to lock up 3rd and 4th respectively. Back in the field, despite strong efforts by Snyder (JWD), Petruzelli (FMV), and Swing (ROG), Harrison (R3) was able to set Paris (R3) up for a 1 lap solo to take out the 5th spot.

Women - In the womens race, Shana Lydon (FMV) used her strength to power through the uphill, upwind portion of the course and leave others in her wake. By the end, she had lapped most of the field solo. Due to the hard pace and windy conditions, what remained of the field was reduced to a handful of chasers. LaBombard (JWD) took the honors for second place followed by Rea (R3/Nalgene) and Newell.

Men's B4's ... send me a race report and I will post it here (parismj at gmail.com)

Men's B5's ... don't forget to catch comments and suggestions written in the Blog to the right

MESSAGE TO ALL: Watch those yellow line violations. Setting up for a turn should not involve swinging wide on an open course. Violation of this rule jeopardizes the entire club - offenders will be DQ'd that night and repeaters suspended from the club.

We have new results formatting. Race write-ups will appear on the main page as usual, but all results tables can now be found in the results section of the web site. Either follow the link under the "Race Series" tab above or click directly here. Thanks! -MP

GVCC Classic (Bloomfield) presented by

Full Moon Vista Bike and Sport

A great day for the race and some great racing! Thanks to all the marshals for making the event possible... you all did a fantastic job! Our drivers were great too and really helped make our race function well. Special thanks to the crew from Full Moon Vista for providing so many things that I don't have room to write them all - but to say the least, Kyle for driving our wheels around for 3 hours, Scott and Kyle for setting up tents, and keeping the start/finish humming, paying races out etc! Thank also to Mike McCartin, our Chief Referee, and to Yellow Jacket Racing for the chip timing.

Full results are posted on the Yellow Jacket Racing website: www.yellowjacketracing.com .
