Weekend Results

Matt Wilpers and I returned to Central Park Sunday for race 4 of the NYC Spring Series. Windy and cold, the pace was still fast at 23 + mph with Matt leading most of the time. A crazy finish with sprints starting way early, I tried to jump from wheel to wheel and work my way to the front. By the time I was ready to sprint, the leader was way up the road and fading. I almost caught him but he dug pretty deep to win by a wheel. I was 2nd, Matt finished with the pack after controlling the pace and covering any breaks for 3 laps.

John Milone won his age group (35-39) in the "Prospect Park Spring Du" duathlon.  Way to go John!

Central Park Spring Series

ZTEAM NYC makes a strong showing at the Spring Series race in Central Park. Dan Ownes, Matt Wilpers and I were near the front of the cat 5 group for 3 laps. With a tip from Dan about NY Velocity I was able to pick a good leadout and win the sprint finish. Dan and Matt were close behind, finishing with the lead pack in their first race of the season. Great Job! 

Veteran John Milone also came out for the cat 4 race. A good effort getting to the race but had to leave early for a work emergency. Yes, at 7:30 Sunday morning. Tough times! He's got the race bug though.

See you guys next week?

With the weather finally starting to come around, it's time to start meeting for regular group rides. I will start my morning rides in CP next week. Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 5:30 at Tavern on the Green. I will also be out on the weekends, meeting at the GW bridge at 9:00 am. I need some other members to step up and "lead" rides at other times. Let me know when you ride and I will post it here. 

Don't be afraid to come out and race! Check the calendar.
