TOKV TGIO

Its here and gone,

By far the best kensington race scince its birthing back in the late 90's hats off to Joe and the Sun Lyon crew. The weekend was a blast and we heard nothing but good comments from all those that ran. The weekend started with TT times dropping asthe faster groups took to the start chute, If you were sub 5:20 you were haulin, Greg Christian started were he left off 2 weeks a ago with the fastest time besting Grahm Howard, and the Cyborg, Steve Clark. Other impressive and some surprise times were posted . the all arounders Tom Burke and Jon the ACE Card, Tom Archer seems to be getting some form with strong finish, Rob Foshag squeeked in with sub 5/20, as did Rob Iser. Matt the Diesel thourout killed the masters field again. Ms woodring did it to the womens field upsetting super Tuff Kacey Manderfield, and her teammate Theresa CliffRyan, Matt Prygowski unseated Joe Schraad for the cat 3 overall The Crit was nothing less than fast for all the fields, Crash 4 field eeeer Cat4 saw Venom riders on the ground and kept the meat wagon on its toes.. The Saturn/shell Brinkman boy did it to the under age field, as did his teammate Steve Mcgregor in the masters 35+ he rode off the front and was never to be seen again, The meat of weekend was the Display of why the priority posse is a national caliber team. After The eldest Howard bros took the jersey from the TT winner WMCR Greg christain, they set the tone for a controlled Crit and road race, that was nothing but text book tatics. The Crit began to take its toll on those not ready for what the PH boys were goin to dictate, going 2 at a time until the last lap when they sat on the front , they were joined with a MINIME Meurig from lathrup industries, a WCMR rider , and 2 Saturn/shellers. The PH took it and the jersey for the next stage.
Sunday morning they Miscene was greeted with a sunny morning and the final stage of a great weekend. with the Jersey's secured the road races were less dramatic. the overalls were pretty much set across the board, as most fields were too spenttocontest. Cat1-2 field had one of the best sprinters in the state Ben Renkema win it in a 5 up sprint with teammates Christain, Todd Shoberg, Tom Burke, Grahm Howard and a Saturn/shell rider. Special Note should go out to Julie Bellrose who hung tough all weekend with the 1-2 guys. WAY TO GO!!!! Masters 45+ group finaly had a new winner as everyone was getting tired of Mark Armstrong winning it, Swartenruder from the Delta faucet company washed everybody out.
Thanks all those that made this one a go from the real deal TT start, to the yellow jerseys, its great step forward. when you see the the Lyon crew thankem.
