West Valley Cycle Update – 1/26

A new update from Vicki Young of the West Valley Cycle:

————–

So far, David in Tokyo, is “eating the best sushi (raw squid & salmon eggs), communicating through an interpreter in the most interesting meetings of his life” …all on 3 hrs of sleep in 40 hrs! -10 degrees, he’s off to Seoul Korea for an authentic Korean BBQ!…more to come!

This Saturday Start Time is 7:30am

Recap: ~40 riders this last Saturday braving the cooler temperatures from the week before. Rick Baldwin toughing it out with the “A” group to the Top of Cotton! Greg (visiting from Cincinnati ) pushing the Pace while some “trying” to take it easy before Sunday’s Avondale Crit! …and then, periodically, Shawn Ingram cheering obnoxiously. hmm

2nd group formed a nice rotation, turning on Dean (because Joe wanted to), and then ALL faced that Brutal norm of a headwind, towards Bashes in Verrado.

Nice to See BACK Ramon Garcia, Dan Simmons, Paul Thiesen…. and even Chris Wood, coming out of the wood work on a early, cold, Windy Sunday morning!

Sprint Winners: Steve Klock (Swiss Amer.), Jared Williams (PCCC), and one of our top records x4, Darren Hancock!

King/Queen Pullers: (A) Ken Ferguson, Leo LaMarca, Sean Bell, Trevor Moody, Randy Westacott, Brian Mohler, Derek Finman

(B) Joe Lozon, Matt Duke, Paul Thiesen, Rey Caraveo, Mike Smith, Rob Demers, Dan Simmons, Ramon Garcia

Additional Notes:

* Racing Season has begun, both Mtn & Road! WVC will miss you, but look forward to the stories how you collected your points to move up in category! Best of luck!, Ride Safe, Ride SMART!
* A few of us start 1/2 hr earlier before the start time to warm up and get some extra miles. If convenient, come on out :)
