On a beautiful sunny morning in Wales, NY, the A racers came out to contest the Club Road Race Championship. On the first time down Hunters Creek Rd., the racing was aggressive with more than a few trying their hands at applying pressure to the race. Rob Dahl (Hollyloft/El Matador) finally got a 15-20 second gap as he approached the first climb up Vermont Steet. At this point Jay Joslyn came flying out of the pack "catching everyone by surprise", caught and passed Rob Dahl, and really was never seen again.
A few riders tried valiantly to bridge the gap, first Bob Dahl and Joe Cooke (French Meadow Bakery/Fortistar), and then Jim Doan (Hollyloft/El Matador) and Dennis Packard (Wellness Extension), but Jay paced himself perfectly and held on for the win.
Congratulations to our 2009 Club Road Race Champions, Lance Johnson (B), Traci Mariniello (W) and Jay Joslyn (A).
