MAN WHATTA WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man this had to had to be one of the Best weekends for our michiganscene in a long time lotsa racing and great weather. and awesome venues! 1st on on the docket, The Rochester cycling festival, great coures and a decent turnout, the pro 1-2 race saw a great match up with Grahm Howard of Priority Health snaggin a win, former national cyclocross champ, Mike House Texas/Roadhouse was there to keep him Honest. Also in the Mix was former Michigan boy Nate Griffin came in for 3rd he looked fit and strong. Thanx Essex Brass for a stellar event.
A few notibles from the our scene went over the border to do the Amerstburg race, the course a fast 4 corner crit saw many of the fast canadians from the area show up to to get there shot at the provincial crit championship, The imfamous Leferve bros Dan/Tim made it a one two punch at the line, The Jet Fuel team sent about 5 guys over for the weekend but couldnt get it together when it counted. I hear the Cane Creek boys had a rough weekend when one hit some little ol lady broadside in the middle of bridge to a gap. whew after a few neutral laps they cleaned the carnage up and it the race went on. Once again another CC rider went don in a sweet 30+ mph knee slide in the last corner....Hardman Jon Card raced like 3 cats on this day, HMMM get ready for cross maybe? And then theres dude named DARKO FICKO....whatta name......
ERIE, ST.AHH..the racing the nightlife (see pic). The competition was tough all across the boards a 100 rider+1-2 field with some of the best teams from around the area, Abercrombie/fitch, Texas Roadhouse, wolverines, Priority Health. After a break of about 18 riders, got away, we had surprise winner Hooters Danille Defranchise,( i call it a surpise, with teams like texas/roadhouse, that included Paul Martin, Mike House, Mike Busa, and others, as well as Jet Fuel and The Leferve bros, ohio team Torrlei and other Michigan tough guys.) Danille took it fair and square with Nate Griffin in for second, The field was mostly dominated by Canadians. but a few over the borders were in the mix. up and comer Derek Grahm made the top 10, Frankie Andruea was within the strickin distance. whats new?? Old schooler Jon Coyle in at 18th. I love this race scince you get to see old Wolverines out there rollin, chub and all, is that a requierment?

Jim regan of the Saturn/shell team hurt them in the masters 40 race, as did Terry Palmer in the 30+...Hey Terry what gives? your a contenedr in the 1-2..just kiddin. The whole VIBE is awesome here..i cant wait until the 50th anniversey race in 2 years! Thanks Aldo!!!
Rockcity...whatta surprise here. i thought parking lot crits were bring, NOT this sucker... a true classic ina parkin lot sense, although it lacked the flavor of yor, it was a a good filler.The results are are brief due to me lax and not searchin too deep.......After hittin the deck hard not less than 12 hours b4 Ben Renkema, WCR showed why he is State crit champion as well as one of the best cat2 crit racers in the midwest, as he took this one TOO!!! DAM! the hill was takin its toll on tired legs throughout the day as we saved the best race for last...Thank god its over cuz im tired! Thank you cadiuex for a great event and congrats to all those, and sorry if the results are bleak on this one, IM COOKED..its sad to say were at the end all already of another great season. Later!
