Owasco Road Race Report

Team Reynold Cycle had an awesome race in New York at the Owasco Road Race. In the race was both the Junior Men and Cat 5 Men. Right from the beginning of the race the Reynold Cycle riders controlled the pace, riding at the front setting tempo and staying out of trouble. Up the first climb three Reynold Cycle riders attacked, causing a large split in the peloton. Then up the first KOM climb, a 500m climb at 15% grade, Chris Balestrini attacked and took one man with him, he went over the top first taking max KOM points. Andrew Scollard came over the top fourth and Chris Ling followed behind. Then after a fast descent Chris Balestrini attacked again on the next KOM climb, a 1.2km climb at 7.6% average grade. He put in a huge move and went away solo from there. Andrew Scollard came over the top third and formed a 4 man chase group. Chris Balestrini stayed away until the finish, having a 2:08 gap over the 4 man chase. Andrew Scollard then attacked with 200m to go and finished 2nd overall. Chris Ling followed a couple minutes back in another small group and finished strong, taking the 3rd place in the Junior Mens category. In the end Reynold Cycle swept the podium and Chris Balestrini took home both the yellow jersey and the polka dot jersey.
