Last Sunday four members of the team were in Burlington for another road race. The conditions were far from mediocre for the race with severe rain and the odd bit of lighting during the race. The bad conditions took a toll on many of the racers, including two Reynold Cycle riders, Chris Ling and Payam Saboni, no severe injuries, just some cuts. On a good note Chris Balestrini and Andrew Scollard both finished without crashes and both finished in the top 10. The Breakaway group of 3 riders escaped after a crash went down. The first chase group was assembled but none of the other teams wanted to work with Chris or Andrew. The gap was 5 minutes with 18 km to go. Chris Balestrini attacked the chase with 18k to go and tried to bridge the gap solo. His efforts fell short but was only 40 seconds away from 3rd by the time they finished the race. Andrew finished in the first chase pack to claim 8th overall. Solid showing from the whole team, hopefully a good result will come in the near future for the team.
Next race is the Elliot Lake Stage Race on August 15th and 16th.
