Check 1-2, Check 1-2: all systems go for Superweek.

This past weekend the ABD/GEARGRINDER team finished 1-2 at back-to-back races.

On Saturday at the UWW Road Race Rob and Ryan White executed perfect tactics to spring them both along with and one other rider to form the winning break of three. Then they alternated attacks until Ryan rode away for the victory and Rob won the sprint for second.

On Sunday, Jeff Schroetlin opted to use brute strength to win the race, lapping the field solo and then tearing through it to bridge up to the eight rider chase by himself before catching the field for the second time! Then he lead out teammate Josh Carter who'd been "along for the ride" in the chase group! Josh won the field sprint for second with Jeff rolling through safely for the win.

Schroetlin also has a "season recap" race report for your reading pleasure, posted at his blog: http://ihatechrissprock.blogspot.com/

There is also a pretty exciting video clip courtesy of the Keeley's that is the finish of the Grafton Twilight Criterium. Josh Carter is the only rider from the field to catch and pass Bissell pro Garret Peltonen in the final straightaway for the win!
