Holy Hill Road Race
It was a chilly day at Holy Hill, tempertures hovered around 60 degrees (16 C) with a light rain falling on and off. Everyone mentioned the cold weather but no one complained, especially after the 90 degree temperatures they experienced just a few weeks earlier. None the less, these racers were anxious to tackle the steep and frequent hills that this area is known for.
In the Pro 1/2 race, four riders were able to escape and elude the field to the end.. Jay Thomson (MTN - South Africa), Andrew Bradley (Gourmetfein - Germany), Toby Marzot - MA, USA) and Reid Mumford (Kelly Benefit Strategies - CO, USA) built up a lead that extended to three minutes over an agressive, but dwindling field.
Here we see overall series leader Bernard Solzberger (Fly V Australia) attack. He finished fifth. Jay Thomson (MTN) took the win, over Gourmetfein's Andrew Bradley on the short, uphill sprint to the line..
Shortly thereafter, Toby Marzot (Khakis) beat Reid Mumford (Kelly Benefit) in a close sprint for third.
In the 3's, Marc Howe (Gear Grinders) made it look just too easy.and gave us the "Stylin' Post up of the day" !
