The Ommegangsters were out in numbers again at Hollenbecks Spring Classic ... 9 team members participated in the Cat 3/4, Cat 5 and Masters 35+ fields with this years fields seeming slightly larger compared to the previous few years. As always, this is perhaps one of the coolest road events in upstate with low fees, those incredible cookies, impeccable organization and all around good competition. That finishing hill though, it just hurts more and more each year but it wouldn't be Hollenbecks without it.
In a fairly stacked Cat 3/4 field, Eric G, bouncing back from an untimely flat last week, picks up a 4th overall -- sweet !! Other 3/4 Ommegangsters included Phil M (who wasn't "that guy"), and Anthony R. The tough luck award goes to Cory P this week who had some chain issues that forced him out of the 3/4 race. Get'em at Syracuse Cory!
The Cat 5 race saw some good representation by Aaron J, Phil B, Mike W and Chris S in a (Fucillo-esque) "huge" field while the good ol' guys event (Masters) saw Greg D place 8th as the lone "old Ommegangster" racing the 35+.
Congrats to Ommegangster friend Wayne Bray (Syracuse Bicycle - Spokepost.com) on his win in the 3/4 and hoping all is well with the person that was airlifted out after his mishap.
