I would like to thank Tony and Bert for the ride report. Bert did his very best to lay out the point winners, and I have based the awards on what he observed. Any mistakes are easily corrected, but must be confirmed by all riders involved.
It sounded like a great Gryo ride. The peloton included: Logan, Steve, Ryan, Art, Bert, Grey, Lou, Keil, and Tony. Courtney was just a few minutes late (I hope that you guys did not start early...)and missed the start. Based on Tony and Bert the distance was 30 miles @ 20.5 pace. I am certain that with this style of riding it is going to take a 22+ average to win these rides. The fun started early, with Keil and Art breaking away on Coley. But, the peloton worked together and reeled them back in. With 2 strong riders committed to a breakaway it would take the group working together to bring them back. I truly believe that Keil and Art had all intentions of staying away...this is the type of riding that will make us all better riders. With so many of the best Gyros on this ride it was going to be a dog fight when it came to the points. And, it takes smart riding so that you have the legs in the final stretch. It looks as though Logan has all of this in his arsenal. He won the sprint to the end of the Doc, and he was the first to the finish. He picked up a cool 7 points, and has a comfortable lead already. Here are the points at this point. We have only had 2 scoring rides since there was not one last Tuesday. Logan 12 points (2 first place finishes, 1 sprint bonus) Rick 5 points (1 second place finish, 1 sprint bonus) Steve 3 points (1 second place finish) Keil 1 point (1 third place finish) Lou 1 point (1 third place finish) This list is subject to revision if anyone contests the results. We now have 6 riders in the Gyro General Classification (GCC), but, you still need to declare your intention to be official. As of now Logan, Ryan, and myself are the only ones to have done this. I am very dissappoined that I missed such a spirited ride. I had writted Tony yesterday that I was not going to be able to lead the Tuesday rides because of my group exercise schedule at my club, but, after reading Tony and Bert's ride report I have to be there. I need the motivation because I am way behind in cycling conditioning. I hope to see most of you this Saturday, Rick PS. I guess Logan was rested from the mountain ride. How about the rest of you? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you foolishly subscribed to the Gyro email group.
