FLCC> Hurd/Ringwood/Mt. Pleasant 'B' race report

[Amanda and Mark Shenstone]

Felix is a grad student from Germany.  It were he 
and Dave Heck who left me in the dust  to pick up 
the crumbs.

'B' race report


  Just a minor correction, I believe it is Alex 
the Taam not Felix the Cat who was applying the 
hurt to y'all.

        The move of Don to the A's may have been a 
welcome sight for some, but for me it meant not 
knowing which wheel to follow up Ringwood.  Also, 
not having an entertaining race report.
        Anyway, about 17 B riders rode rather 
conservatively down Midline.  Even Mark Rishniw 
didn't seem interested in pushing the pace.  It 
was a moderate pace up Hurd with 11 cresting the 
top together.  I think people were saving 
themselves for the impending climbs ahead.
        This group stayed together back down 
Midline with a couple half-hearted attacks up 
Ellis Hollow Creek Rd.   The bottom part of 
Ringwood was rather uneventful until Shan 
Mouhiddin picked up the tempo.  This lead to a 
stringing out of the field and audible groans from 
Twinkie.
       As Shan tired, Mark Shenstone attacked, 
taking Garrett Graham (summer temp. from Ashville, 
NC) with him.  Felix and Dave H. couldn't keep 
pace and were about 40 meters back as the other 
two topped Ringwood.  Felix and Dave worked 
together to catch Mark half-way to the Mt. 
Pleasant turn.  Mark's fatigued legs, both from 
the Owasco race and Monday's polo match, kept him 
from latching on.   The two caught Garrett 100m 
onto Mt. Pleasant.  These 3 crested the 
penultimate hill together and tore down the other 
side.  Dave's legs gave out half-way up the final 
climb.  Felix and Garrett were neck and neck to 
the finish, with Felix taking the win and Garrett 
2nd, Dave 3rd and Mark 4th (I think).  I'm not 
sure who came in 5th.
        The heat didn't bother me much until 
Ringwood.  Overall, a good race and good workout.
