Results from this past Sundays Giro are as follows: The fields were combined and this may be the way to do it. These are training rides with a race finish.

Andy Cummings was very strong, but flated during the race. We slowed down at the crossing by RT 63 and thought he would catch, but never bridged back. Good thing because he is really strong this year. Lance Johnson made contact with J...

In the past,regional trials dates have been reserved so as not to have competition from other USA Cycling permitted races. With the news of cancellation, some of these dates have been grabbed in certain regions for other USA Cycling events, including here in WNY. Another issue is that Hudson Valley, the scheduled host of the 2009 games, has cancelled the contracts with vendors and fac...
