Ok so the video below is not a cycling video but it is worth watching.
Yesterday was the 2008 Boston Marathon and what a race the women had. In cycling terms the video below is what is called ‘Putting The Hammer Down!’ This is how you finish someone off on the bike.
Watch the video below and picture yourself on the bike instead of running. How about RunStrong!
Pictured above Mr Shootout himself, Ralph Phillips of Fair Wheel Bikes, before the start of the Shootout at University and Euclid this morning.
This morning ride started out fast with Waste Management hitting it hard after the light at Valencia. There were about 8 to 10 Waste Management guys up front putting it down and riding very aggressive which always makes for a fun Shootout.
The pace was fast and steady. The group size this morning was around 75 to 100 cyclist. A lot of cyclists are in Globe, AZ this weekend for a 2 day race but there were still some good engines in the group this morning.
Denny Vaughan of Summit Velo, who is a national champion, had a great Shootout today. Denny won the sprint up the hill and also took the sprint coming back into town. It is has been a long time since I can remember where the same person took both the hill sprint and the sprint coming back into town. Great job Denny!
Brian Cornelius of Waste Management was also a notable rider today. Brian took 2nd in both the sprint hill and the sprint into town.
The sprint coming back into town was lead out by Waste Management. They had the train going with all of their riders but started the lead out a little too soon. Dan Naef of ProCon Cycling took over and gave Denny Vaughan the perfect lead out and Denny took the sprint followed by Brain Cornelius of Wast Management and Frank Barnes of Summit Velo took 3rd.
