Check Your Legs RR, April 22nd 2006
USCF Permit # 2006-435


Race time of 1 Hour and 14 Minutes

25 riders tackled the two circuits of the difficult and wet course. The first few miles saw a cold pack and slow speeds as the riders stuck together to keep warm. After the first hills out of Garrattsville things started to string out. Erik Markewich and Brett Sherwood were off the front and setting a fast pace. The descent saw Sherwood re-integrate with the pack and Markewich continue his solo effort.

With the rain and wind kicking up, the peloton ever so slowly chased Markewich around the second lap. With less than a mile to go his gap was still about 30 seconds. It looked like victory for the lone escapee. Coming into the last corner Peter Martin jumped out of the group and used his local knowledge to sprint to the finish and pass Markewich with about 50 feet to go. Erik held on for second and won the most aggressive rider of the day award. 3rd place wnt to TVC's Mike Kumiega who showed good legs all day.
