Tuesday Night Worlds - April 29th, 2008
In the Men’s 1/2/3 race, Grandstay, Synergy, Flanders, and SPBRC/GP were out in force which led to the fastest night of racing at Opus this season. Doug Swanson was able to continue his domination and cruise to the win.
The women’s race was dominated by the Flanders squad who formed an early breakaway of two riders. With no one willing to chase, Flanders kept sending riders up to join the break which swelled to six, all from Flanders.

Posted 30 Apr 2008 at 6:53 am ¶814 would be Andy (Tink) Rosch from the U of M.
Posted 30 Apr 2008 at 2:26 pm ¶I might have my folks mixed up but I don’t think Mike from SPBRC was in the Cat5 race the other night. I think the order should be:
Posted 01 May 2008 at 8:44 am ¶1. Mario, 2. Andy (UofM), 3. ___?___. I was fourth to the line and I think I remember this being the order in front of me.
Rob,
Unless someone else was wearing his bib from the week before (#747) the results are accurate.
Hate to break it to you but this is a points race format and 4th at the line means no soup for you!
1) Andy Rosch - 11 pts
2) Mario Hernandez - 10 pts
3) Mike King - 5 pts
4) Aaron Shaw - 5 pts
5) Bernie Kaeferlein - 4 pts
6) Bib 741 - 3 pts
7) Bib 757 - 3 pts
8 Bib 811 - 2 pts
9) Bib 787 - 1 pt
10) Bib 793 - 1 pt
Rob, Thanks for continuing to make bikethrow.com your trusted source for relatively accurate information about local cycling. Now get some points next week and I’ll put you in the story header!
Posted 01 May 2008 at 9:46 am ¶Andy just received his Cat 4 upgrade, so that’ll make some room in the Cat 5 race next week… congrats Andy!
Posted 01 May 2008 at 11:05 am ¶Ouch man. Just trying to help…
Posted 01 May 2008 at 1:05 pm ¶Nothing but good clean fun here Rob. Harden up!
Posted 01 May 2008 at 1:10 pm ¶Rob, I was there, really. You should remember me as the guy who started chasing the break on his own after lap 7 or 8. You know, the one who couldn’t quite separate from the pack and ended up gassing himself for no real benefit other than a decent workout. I think I even heard you say something to the effect of “WTF is he doing?” Of course, that could have been anyone in the pack.
Anyway, by my logic, you owe your place on the last lap to my generosity. I look forward to my share of your prize money
Posted 01 May 2008 at 1:13 pm ¶Cool Mike. Got you confused with someone else I met last week from SPBRC. Sorry for the confusion!
No, I didn’t make any comments. I started the break with the UofM guy in tow. Two guys bridged up to us on the last lap (Mario was one of them, you must have been the second), and I came in a wheel length behind third.
Oh well.
Looking forward to next week!
Posted 01 May 2008 at 1:30 pm ¶How does Aric get third after going for a “ride” during the race, just wonder’n, H-WooD
Posted 01 May 2008 at 2:58 pm ¶Cause he got 8 pts?? I give up, how? I’m a little confused by your comment Jay.
Posted 01 May 2008 at 4:27 pm ¶Ok, I’m a dork. I didn’t understand the points race system. I’ve been schooled. I get it now!
Posted 02 May 2008 at 12:45 pm ¶Thanks Skibby.
Yeah, Rob and I had no clue we had that break, and he pretty much pulled me around. Rob, when are you coming up to 4s so we can break away again?
I was pretty sure Rob didn’t know it was a pts race when he literally gave me the second to last preem.
