The Ommegangsters have been hitting the early season races here in the good ol' upstate area with some pretty respectable results right out of the gate.
A couple weekends ago saw a number of Ommegangsters line up at the start line of the Tour of Battenkill. This relatively young but hugely successful event probably sees some of the stiffest competition many riders will face most of the year. With the punchy hills and dirt roads thrown in for good measure, a few guys had pretty respectable rides including some top 10 and 20 action in the huge fields.

The following weekend saw some of the gang headed to Bloomfield for some road style circuit action while another batch went down to Prattsburgh for a unique CX/MTB event. Racers at both events were somewhat blindsided by the dreary cold & wind that was considerably cooler than predicted.
At Bloomfield, some respectable results with the conditions alone proving to be extremely challenging based on the number of DNFs across the varying categories. Bloomfield results here: http://www.yellowjacketracing.com/2012. (Props to Ommegangster friend & rival Dave F for his win at Bloomfield.)
The Ramble Around Prattsburgh also saw similar tough weather conditions with a all around good showing including a couple guys making top 5's in their respective divisions. Ramble results here: http://ramblearoundprattsburgh.blogspot.com/p/2012-rambler-results.html
Binghamton up next with fingers crossed for some sunshine and temps over 45. Get out there!
