CNYC had it's best weekend of 2009 by winning two of the race categories at Strawberry Festival. TVC does a great job of putting on this race year after year. It's one of New York State's most difficult road courses; with lots of climbing and an uphill sprint. Two tales from inside the peloton. Thanks to Ad Stabel and Dale Beckwith for the race reports.

Rich Karaz and Ad Stabel took the start of the 45+ field. They were up for two hilly loops; starting with a steep climb leading past the finish as soon as the peloton crossed the Susquehanna river.
Although cloudy and after an extremely wet day and night the morning of the race was dry for the most part. Immediately, Andy Ross, and Dave Fasso from MaxPowerCycling took the reigns and rode a stiff tempo up the steep climb past the finish. Assisted by Doug Carlson and Ernie Bayles from Chris Cookies they were trying to shake the tree right from the start. The group mostly stayed together until the second steep section; there Andy Ross was once again shaking the tree. Ad Stabel passed him on the middle section and rode a stiff tempo once he noticed a small gap starting to appear. After that a group of seven riders went off the front. The lead pack consisted of two riders each from Chris Cookies, MaxPower and CNYC, one guy from Corning and a Canadian rider.

Two good nights for fast times.....

After a long hard Winter of training....CNYC's Rich Karaz is showing his form and race smarts this Spring.
2 weekends in a row Karaz has placed 2nd in his race category. Last weekend at the Binghamton Circuit Race...Rich sprinted to an impressive 2nd place. This weekend at the Hollenbeck Road Race he covered the right move; and, made it stick with his two breakaway companions. Stop on by the Sneaker Store in New Hartford, NY. They are located at 4490 Commercial Drive. The Sneaker Store is a CNYC sponsor. Rich will like talking bike racing with you. And, he'll get you in a pair of great sneakers at a good price.

Cool and breezy conditions.

Roughly 70 riders showed up for the 2009 CYLRR. Windy and cool conditions. But a good day for racing.
CNYC's Ad Stabel kept his impressive run of results at the CYLRR by taking the win in the B category.
Small but competitive fields contested the A and Woman's categories. In the A Race....Wayne Bray made a bold solo effort for most of the 3 laps. He was beaten at the end of the day; but, certainly awarded the most aggressive riders prize. In the end it was Benjamin Salibra taking the win for the A riders. The top 3 women battled for two laps with Sarah Krzysiak winning.
