OSU RR story in pictures

Field was only around 40 riders and some big winds so I was hoping to make an early move.

Ended up going in the first 10 seconds of the race with a Marian and Northwestern dude.


Sweet, we got a lot of distance while the pack was messing around.

Danny and another Marian guy bridged up to us. Sweet, more recovery time!

It seems like other people wanted to join us. In the meantime we dropped the NW dude


Now it's a party... 4 Marian and 4 LWC drilling it... Some pretty big talent (ISCorp, Kenda, Foundation, Global Bike, Hincapie, CCSH/RGF, Priority Health)

Party didn't last too long. Attacks and counterattacks fired until we caught Bush off the back and started drilling it. Too bad Marian didn't do an ounce of work for the last 3.5 laps.McBride took a last lap flyer with a few miles to go and we kept it at a steady gap until the end when Alder and I blew up closing down the gap for Kip to fight it out in the sprint. He managed to take second which is awesome considering the marian guys were really fresh and we managed the teams goal of defending his conference lead.

Ended up averaging around 26 mph, not too bad for a 53 mile breakaway

Stole these pictures from Lebo's dad
