Ahhh finally, a beautiful weekend with perfect temps for an early season bike race. It was nice to get home post race and not have to thaw out for a change or clean the road grit outta your teeth from road spray. Hollenbecks again proves to be a great race with some sizeable fields while still providing a bit of a grass roots kind of feel.
Representation by the Ommegangsters across the categories was stellar again this past weekend. Good numbers of the Belgian-style brigade in most categories (well, men's categories). Lots of top 10's with top honors and props to Eric K (aka the Mad Minnesotian) for a podium spot in the 3/4 race.
Results for Hollenbecks are here: http://flcycling.org/?page_id=2101&cpage=1
Other developments include some 'gangsters looking at the state champs at Bristol this weekend, a few more looking at the Prattsburgh Ramble (perhaps a Black Fly prelude) the following weekend, and then Syracuse and/or the Highland Hex the weekend after. Also some prelim discussions on the tentative "fun ride" from Syracuse Bicycle to Brewery Ommegang in August. If you got ideas or suggestions (including a clever name for the ride/event) ... or want to roll up your sleeves and get involved in the planning, please let us know.
Get out there & be safe.
