Philly 2 Day Classic
Last weekend a lot of the team headed into Philly for the Philly 2 Day Classic. After a 2 year hiatus, the Classic was back on, and what a race it was. Saturday's race was a 2.2 mile circuit in fairmount park, but with winds 20-25 with gusts tp 40+ it made for an interesting race. In the 3/4 race several breaks were attempted but non stuck, the race ended in a big bunch sprint with Rick Steele taking 3rd!
In the Cat 4 Race, "Little Dave" finishing 13th and Makr 19th with Jeff and "Big Dave" not far behind. Jimmy G also completed his first race ever.
Sunday was the infamous Lemon Hill Crit, this race promised to be fast and furious from the gun. in the Cat 5 race Jimmy took 7th, in the Cat 4 race "Little Dave" also took 7th with Mark not far behind. In the Cat 3/4 race there were several crashes and the CCV boys were caught up in them. Steve, Rick, Scott, Gerg and Matt all hit the deck with Matt getting the worst of it, sliding into the curb at 30+ mph, OUCH!
Again there were several break attempts and some solo fliers but nothing stuck and the race again came down to a bunch sprint, and Dave Grant came across in 14th with the remainder of the team not far behind. Click HERE for some photos of the diamond st circuit |
