Another Spring Series, another podium for GE.
Here’s the play-by-play from our Twitter feed of today’s 112km road race:
Murchie road race today for the spring series. We have had good results in the past on this course. Hopefully today is no different.
Weather: pouring and 6 degrees. 25 riders or so in the field. 1 lap of 15 down and the pace is picking up. post.ly/1jrWb
3rd lap and GE rider Jason Thompson going solo on 0 Ave with 20 seconds on the pack.
12 minute lap and Thompson returns to the bunch while GE mate @alistairhoward readies at the front.
Now GE has three off front: Thompson, @alistairhoward and Dave Stephens, plus two others, with 30 sec. gap. Rains let up a bit.
Break continues to hold 30 seconds on field. Wind picks up a bit.
Rain stopped and our break now has a minute lead. Buckosky and Gerth look ready in the pack.
Looks like the break is down to four with three of them GE, while doubling their gap to 2 min.
