W.E. Steadman GP


After fueling up with delicious breakfast sandwiches with Thom and Ashley in Cambridge Pat (my dad) and I hit the road south to Goddard Park in Rhode Island. The park is in a beautiful spot along Greenwich Bay, just one of the many bays and inlets in the state, and included a run along the beach before heading back into the forested areas. The course was really fun today and despite having a poor start I worked my way up through a good chunk of the field on the first grass/mud sections. Then after having a little lull midway through the race I finished the last three laps with some authority by pulling away from a chasing group of four and catching Fior di Frutta rider Toby Marzot on the last lap, finishing with a bit of time to spare in 13th. The race at the front was apparently a four man race between both the Wells brothers, Jesse Anthony, and Chris Jones. In the end it came down to Anthony and Todd Wells for a two up sprint with Wells getting the honor of the top spot. Tomorrow the weather is apparently supposed to supply a crafty front of frozen rain, so that could add to the excitement.
