Riding through the woods as fast as you can shows the inner child you thought was lost forever.Red Jackets Ride Strong at Pontiac Lake
The following is the news tidbit I wrote for the Red Jacket-BlueSky Health Cycling Team web site.
Pat Szubielak took first place in the Sport Men 50+ category and 19th overall. Left to right: Niel Scharphorn – Cross Country Cycle, Pat Szubielak – Red Jacket–BlueSky Health, Glenn Willyard, and Roger Pelkey.
The Red Jacket – BlueSky Health Cycling Team swept the Pontiac Lake Time Trial this weekend in Waterford, Michigan. Pat Szubielak took first for the Sport Men 50+ category and Diane Ursu took first for the Sport Women 25-39 category. There was a good turnout despite the snow with 170 racers. The one-lap race had 114 competitors who made a clean finish after the Expert and Elite racers cleared the water from the course with a grueling two-lap race.
Diane (right) took first for the Sport Women 25-39 category and third for Women's Sport Division, and 97th overall. Jennifer Fischer (left) racing for Tree Fort Bikes took second in the Sport Women 25-39 category.
The race started off at a tropical 30° F with light snow and progressed to a breezy, sunny 38° F. Overcoming heat exhaustion, our polar Yooper citizens pulled out all the stops to show the world the Red Jackets are a new force to be reckoned with.
Pontiac Lake is an intermediate course located in Michigan’s beautiful Oakland County. The course is packed full of varying terrain with respectable, longer climbs and fast, challenging descents along with varying technical terrain including soil, sand, and clay, log piles, and drops combined with rock gardens and root systems. It is understandably one of Lower Michigan’s most popular trails.
Diane Ursu taking off from the start line on Sunday.
The Red Jackets would like to thank Robert Linden and his Tailwinds crew for their hospitality and a race well done.
