NJ TT Cup Series Readington

by cfritz

4/11 Race Summary

On behalf of the NJBA, the NJBA Time Trial Cup Committee, and the Readington Time Trial team of promoters, I would like to offer another huge bravo to all who showed up and laid it down in week # 2 of the Time Trial Cup Series.  It was yet another inclimate Saturday morning in New Jersey, this time dealing with cold temps and relentless spring rain.  Once again the registration and scoring were done perfectly, accurately and quickly.  The marshals and volunteers did a tremendous job supporting the promoters and providing a safe course on which to race.

Congratulations to Will O’Donnell of Westwood Velo/Trade Management who had the fastest overall time of 11:34 averaging 28.271 mph on this slightly rolling wet course!  The top 5 was rounded out by the following with a tie at 4th:

Jason Walters         Guardian Coaching/Brielle Cyclery                     11:55, 27.441 mph

Sean McLaughlin     Human Zoom/Pabst Blue Ribbon                      12:01, 27.212 mph

Chris Fritz               Guardian Coaching/Brielle Cyclery                    12:05, 27.062 mph

Mark Pohndorf        Colavita Racing                                              12:05, 27.062 mph

The Category 4/5 maintained its tight competition, as did the 35+ field.  2009 is looking to be a very competitive season for time trialing in the NJ TT Cup Series!  Full results can be found here:

The TT is held on a course located just outside of the Cape May County Zoo, which is a great place to spend time with the family afterwards, so consider making a day of the event!

Reminder – please 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!
