50 Starters in the “A” race.

The race started under overcast skies with the threat of rain and a temperature of 54º. Fortunately for all of the racers the rain held off, unfortunately for the rest of the pack, Simon did not, he was on the attack from the gun, and although the pack brought him back, it didn’t discourage him, he was in almost every serious break of the day. If there was an award for the most aggressive rider for the day, Simon would have walked away with it. Simon was also in the winning group of 7 riders that got away late in the race that also included Luke and Tim. Simon broke away from the lead group with 2 laps to go and forced the other teams to chase setting up Luke for the win while Simon was able to hold off the hard changing field for hard earned 2nd place. With Luke taking the win, his second in as many weeks, this will assure him the overall win in the Spring Training Series. Oh yes, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Tim continues to ride strong and got yet another 4th place.
