Dash for Cash

Sounds like I'm due a race report:

Was a full field of 120 riders, since there were 3's too.

First hour was break after break of being brought back.  Eric was very active and between he and I were represented in all moves.  A ten man break finally formed with 15 or 20 min to go.  It wasn't a good break for the team: two Specialized in Leberge and Nolan, two Webcor in Rand and Justin, Reaney and Sean for CalGiant.  Once that formed I stopped working since I can't out sprint some of these guys and we had a good set of guys back in the pack.

Three laps to go Rand attacked and I jumped on his wheel.   We worked pretty well together but another group of four or so, including Justin and Reaney caught us with 1.5 to go, resulting in a pause as everyone was wondering what next.  I took that opportunity to attack and got a 5-10 sec gap on them through the headwind.  Held the last lap and that was it!

ICCC - Dash for Cash
























Saturday, June 6, 2009.  The Sierra Pacific Racing team was well represented at the Dash for Cash in Pleasanton, CA.  The man of the day was Joel Robertson, he won the Pro 123 crit and then came back out to win the Masters 123 crit.  Maybe Joel could expand on his wins a little for us???  The team was also represented well by Brian, Eric, Stephen and Tim B.
