tnr 4/26, results

Crazy big turnout for the TNR for the last of our April series. Unfortunately, because the third week was weathered out and because this last week no one kept track of their sprint points, the results are a little weird, but we'll do it anyway...

In case you've forgotten where we are, check back here for results from 4/12.

So last Tuesday's race is a blur... We had quit a Carlisle contingent descend on the place and that really shook things up. Josh, Tom, Luck, Daniel, and Micah all rode down to play. Then there was newcomer Chad from Boiling Springs. And relative new-comer Phillip from up that way somewhere too. Great to have them all here. Not great to get dropped...

Yup, I'm getting dropped on my own ride. It's a sad day in Shippensburg...

Anyway, things lit up at the end of the second lap. I went off the front just to collect some sprint points and on the downward slope following the line Josh and Micah motored by me like I was standing still. I figured a crew would come around and I'd be able to jump right on, but instead it was first Jon coming around sprinting at mach 9 to bridge up, then Aaron jumping off my wheel with the same idea, both coming around so fast as to leave me rather breathless, and rather unmotivated for the self-pain I would have to inflict to even try to catch up. And that bit of action pretty much obliterated the field. Tom and I rode two laps alone together while Josh put the hurt on the others in the lead group, and I'm not sure exactly how the race was playing out behind me.

And all that action after Flegal broke his chain and TT Brian suffered massive tire failure on the TNR warm-up ride.

Anyway, here's your finishing order:
