On behalf of the NJBA, the NJBA Time Trial Cup Committee, and the
Congratulations to Steve Goldman of Westwood Velo/Trade Management who had the fastest overall time of 15:28 averaging 27.155 mph in some horrendous windy conditions! The top 5 was rounded out by the following:

Will O’Donnell, Westwood Velo/Trade Manage – 15:51, 26.498 mph

Chris Fritz, Guardian Coaching/Brielle Cyclery – 16:02, 26.195 mph
New for 2009, the NJBA TT Cup Series includes a Cup Category for the Cat4/5 group. This yielded some incredible action with tight times and hard riding. The Cat4/5 Cup looks to be a hotly contested 2009 Series. In that field, David Carr edged out Remus Tomici, with the top 6 riders all within 30 seconds of one another. While many of the fields had great results and exciting finishes, I believe the Cat4/5 Cup will be a chase worth watching all season long.
Please note that the next event on the Cup Calendar is the Readington Time Trial, which is this Saturday April 11th. Further, help us spread the word that Juniors Race for Free in all of the upcoming NJBA TT Cup Events! Due to the support of several individuals and our generous promoters, we have secured free entry fees for all Juniors who would like to race any of the remaining Cup events. If you want to help support this great discipline and further the sport of cycling, please tell a friend, or family member who may have an interested junior who would like to attend one of our great races!! These youthful riders, talented and strong, are the future of this great sport! Do what you can to get a junior, as well as any other person, to come join us!
