Forty or so NYC area riders made their way to upstate Owasco on the beautiful Finger Lakes for the second edition of the Owasco Stage Race put on by the local Rotarians. They have big ambitions for a top domestic pro race in the future. With the exception of some uncooperative weather on Saturday night’s criterium, the whole town seemed very friendly and understanding of the cyclists’ needs. A small town with a great natural resource of well paved winding hilly roads around a lake, cycling and Owasco are a great match.

Hey Francisco– did you steal those goggles from Elton John or was it Miles Davis?
Great pictures Alex…
Awesome photos, Alex. Great job to all the Skyline boys. They worked hard to get those places.
is it just me or does Matt Howard look like Danilo Di luca ?
DiLuca wishes he were that handsome.
It’s more like he rides like Di Luca.

Two podium finishers on one stage– and we get LAST billing in this report? Jeez, who wrote this thing?
is Sherry gonna stop sandbagging it and upgrade???
Many people are being accused of sandbagging who either don’t have the points to upgrade or are in the process of upgrading. Please don’t be so quick to judge.. Sherry is moving up the ranks methodically and is anxious to be a 2, relax it takes a lot of points
The guy was a Cat. 4 until last July or August. I say beat up on the Cat. 3’s for at least a year.
