Vandervorts Corner (OSRS#4)- Three riders made the trip to Ohio and one made it well worth the trip. Sierra S. made the break along with a handful of riders from team Secret. They were able to fight the wind and hold off the field in pursuit. In the end one rider escaped for the win but Sierra sprinted her way onto the podium taking third even though she was outnumbered by the Secret ladies. Cory S. finished 13th in a 1/2 field of 28 whose ability to stay together was tested throughout by stiff winds.
Mooresville Circuit- A closed course with great road surfaces made for ideal race conditions. In the early Masters race John S. made an early move splitting up the pack. He was joined by a handful of riders including three from the Zipp Factory Team. As usually they worked well together and made it tough on the passengers, but John managed to hang on and finish in the lead group taking 6th. Steve E. rode strong as well rolling in towards the front of the chase group.
The team had high hopes with five riders in the 3/4 race. However on this day it was not to be. Ryan E. was riding strong until he lost contact after being forced off the road into a spot of mud. Once he reengaged, the field had made a hard acceleration and was too far up the road. With one lap to go Sustainable Cylcing had a rider about 200m off the front. Dustin went all in coming out of the first turn, catching the Sustainable rider about half way through the lap while maintaining a considerable gap on the filed. However the pack was just too fast down the hill and on the short flat leading to the finish climb and Dustin was caught at the base about 300m short of the finish. Aaron and Joe continued on in the filed sprint finishing unofficially 10th and 11th.
