The weather is warming up and, with it, the racing. There is plenty to choose from this weekend with a bunch of different bike racing formats, and the Downeast Racing guys will be involved in all of them. On Saturday the team will be at the Lake Sunapee road race in New Hampshire (close to Maine!) with the young guns doing the Pro-1-2 three lap (72 mile) version and the gray beards (Dixon & Pfeifle) contesting the two lap (48 mile) 50+ race. Lake Sunapee is a "lumpy" course with a leg testing slightly(?) moderately(?) uphill finish.
On Sunday the squad will be split between two races: 1) the 13.5 mile Cape Elizabeth TT with Downeast Racing's reigning National TT Champion Fred Thomas (pictured above) eager to defend his Cape E title, and 2) the concluding leg of the Scarborough Crit Series where our own Travis Kroot looks to have an unassailable points lead - the result of consistently strong teamwork throughout the series. As always we appreciate the contributing efforts of the PVC (Portland Velo Club) sponsors of the Cape Elizabeth TT and Gorham Bike & Ski (the Scarborough Crit Series) for their strong support of bike racing & recreation in Maine.
