FIREWORKS IN 55/60+ 2012 CYCLO VETS SPRING CLASSIC CRITERIUM

By John McKee

It was one busy weekend for racing in 55+ and up. No doubt about that. The last race of the weekend was the 55/60+ race at the Cyclo Vets 2012 Spring Classic Criterium. Sho Air/Rock N Road, UC Cyclery and Spy/Swami's were loaded for bear in 55+. UC Cyclery had their ace 60+ racer in John Rubcic and Paramount's duo of Monty Pettus and myself had John in our sights. It looked to be a hard fun race and I can tell you that it didn't disappoint. There is no way I can recall everything that happened in this race or even knew. I got summary write ups from Mark Hoffenberg and Mike Birditt. Were they writing about the same race?? Lol.

There were 27 known finishers including the hardy and brave young lady, Angela Wimberly. Way to go girl! Well over 30 started. A number of riders didn't finish. The weather which had shown some signs of rain but cleared a bit. No rain. Yeah! Still a little cool but not like at 7 am. The race start time was to be 9:20am. Everyone seemed to have their number on the correct side and right side up so we could start on time. On time it was. Off we went. The fireworks started right from the whistle. Bob Pellkofer jumped out of the gates like a bullet from Clint Eastwood's 45 in the movie "Magnum Force". Dale Luedtke covered this move and was fairly quickly joined by Paul Rodiguez. A very strong threesome for sure. The break was short lived. Once caught Mike Birditt jumped. Dan Nicolette jumped with him. Mike pulled hard and they got a gap. Mike wanted to "roll it" but Dan couldn't. Sho Air was worried about Mike and Socal points. Mike actually isn't targeting Socal Cup this year per Mike. In any event it was all back together. UC Cyclery must have chased and Steve Cahill did a lot of chasing through the day. I chased myself twice.

Mike Birditt a little frustrated that Dan Nicolette wouldn't "Roll It" with him but he was working for Mark Hoffenberg

Mike Birditt explaining to Mark Hoffenberg that he wasn't going for Socal Cup in 2012

There were many break attempts and small groups. Pelky was super active and got away off of a prime and Kal Szkalak joined him. The two worked it for a while. Spy/Swami's didn't like this of course. Mike Birditt went on a chase and started pulling everyone around. Kal wasn't happy with Pelky's effort there and all came back together again.

Bob Pellkofer and Kal Szkalak are off the front

I don't often chase in 55/60+ races but I had a job to do and needed to get to my teammate and help him if I could

Another break formed and this one was large. Must have been 8 to 10 riders and included 60+ racers John Rubcic and Monty Pettus. I wasn't sure if there was another 60+ rider in the group. I had a job today and that was to try and help Monty best Mr. Rubcic so off I went to try and get across. No matter that I was bringing the entire pack with me. Mark Hoffenberg took a free ride. By the time I got there I was gassed. Hoped for a respite and got a short one. That's all there was today. Hard race. The next break was a 4 or 5 pack of dangerous riders including Pelky. Was he active or what! Riding very strong right now. He likes to race the pro/1/2 events at the end of the day. After this race he was going up to Torrance to do the Pro/1/2 race there.
The small break group didn't include Spy/Swami's again and it was late in the race. Panic attack for Spy/Swami's. Was there going to be a race that they didn't get on the podium? Mike Birditt tried to get across solo. He got part the way there and decided to hold off. Sho Air saw Birditt off and Dan Nicolette gathered up Hoffy and off they went. They came around turn one there was Mike dangling and waiting. The chase group was together. Daniel Yeager and Steve Diamond of Spy/Swami's came to the front to try and help their team pull back the break. Mike Birditt recovered a little and took another pull. The break group must have not been working that well together because it was all back together again.
Less than 5 laps to go and all the riders are there. Some fresher than others but all were showing the effects of a hard race except for Mr. Pellkofer. Friggin' energizer bunny. Going to the last corner inside 3 laps to go and Hoffy accelerates a bit and Pelky springs off of this solo. Pelky goes "all in" now. He is going to try and take it to the finish. No can or will chase Bob down. Bob Pellkofer takes it to the house! Nice win for the most active rider in the race. Well deserved win.
The mere mortals are hammering it out trying to get position for the finish sprint. The 60+ race was still in doubt. On the back stretch I could see Monty was in good position compared to John Rubcic and in the pack there wasn't anything I could do to help him and told Monty so.
Mike Birditt was tired but starting picking off riders moving toward the front coming to the last corner. Coming into the corner Mike got to the front and was in the lead except for Pelky. Kal, Hoffy and Dale wanted Mike wheel after coming around the last corner. Mark got it and came around Mike for 2nd place. Mike finished 3rd. Dale came around Kal for 4th and Kal took 5th.
In 60+ action Monty felt he was in good position at the last corner but John Rubcic ever the smart racer took a sharp turn and came in toward the line along the curb and got a clear lane to sprint in. Monty had some 55+ riders ahead of him and couldn't quite give it his all. Rubcic 1st for the win and Pettus 2nd. I was following Don Kimper at the last corner and he was a bike length ahead of me. I closed the gap coming to the line but Don got the last podium spot by half a wheel. Good race for Don. I was followed in for 60+ by Steve Borer, Jim Swigart and Bruce Steele.
This was the most active race we have seen this year. Sho Air really has the goods. Hard race and fun!
Complete results below the 60+ podium picture. No 55+ pod pic exists that I know of. Nice vid by Alicia McKee below taken on the I Pad 2. That's all for now folks! Train hard and race safe!

"OH MY ACHING BACK" WINS SUPERMASTERS 2012

By John McKee

It was one busy weekend for racing for masters 55+ for men and women. Time trials and criteriums galore. The Cyclo Vets Spring Classic Criterium was selected to host the SCNCA criterium championship for those 65+ and older.
There were 17 riders to contest- 65-69, 6 to contest 70-75, 2 to contest 75-79, one rider in 80-84 and one brave sole to finish 90+. That person was of course, Gordy Shields. Still riding. Great to see. Not fast mind you but rubber side down.
The main competition was in the 65-69 and 70-74 categories. A surprisingly strong and big field showed up for 65-69. There were a few more than 17 that signed up and didn't show. The race was set for 7 am. A championship race and you have to race at the crack of dawn. Wow. Tough but doable. I left my house at 4:20am after driving back from Buelton the day before. A high miles weekend for sure and I am of course talking about driving an automobile and not a bicycle though I did 3 races. I know some of you do 3 races in one day.
OK, we the supermasters are all there early not bright but early none the less while the 55s and 60s are racking it in considering they don't race until 9:20 am. The course is the usual Hennekens .7 mile loop. You gain a little over 600 ft. in a 40 minutes race. The finishing stretch is very rough this year.
 The race didn't include one of the favorites in Hylton Murphy who had a tough crash a month before this race. Hylton is still rehabing after his accident. Hylton is 65 this year as is Bruce Steele a former winner of the championship in the 60+ category. The defending champion from the prior year was Mike Duck of Paramount. Harold Schnieder also known as H aged up to 65 in 2012 and was one of the favorites based on performance in other races he has done in 2012. Both Bruce and H plan on going to Bend, Or. for Natz this year and Mike Duck had told me he was also planning on doing it again. Fritz Tomasello was also in the field and Fritz can always be expected to be in play for a good finish. Before the race H was telling me that he wasn't sure he could ride half the race. His back was killing him from some kind of injury working on his house. He said the day before he couldn't get out of the saddle. I got a real sad story! Lol. The field also included strong riders Mike Fleming, Don Kimper, Cully White and Jean Villiot. An amazingly strong field.

Supermasters lineup 2012

7 am came and we were almost ready. Dale Harless had his number on the wrong side and the official was helping him with it. Dale placed 4th at Natz in 2010 in 65-69 but got dropped in 2011. After Dale's number was changed over the riders were given their final instructions and off we went.
This wasn't the most exciting race I have ever done but it was a championship race. Bruce Steele reved things up as expected and I was all over this. I actually jumped on anything that moved out there. I didn't assume anything. Bruce was having trouble with his asthma so wasn't as strong as I have seen him in the past. I helped set pace at times and put in a couple of surges that H complained about later. Jean Villiot was good enough to come to the front and do some work. A few riders got shelled during the race but the over all pace wasn't at all frightening if one does the 55/60+ races. I do more than anyone though Don Kimper does quite a few.

H- Get yourself a new helmet that fits!

Daniel Wulbert gave it a whirl late in the race-I should have let Mario Seri chase him since they were 70-74

The race came down to the last few laps and since the 7 to go the pace was awful except for an effort by Daniel Wulbert. I jumped on him but was quickly chased down. I should have let Mario Seri chase him down since they are 70-74. One lap to go and Bruce Steele went to the front and I was on his wheel. Michael Edwards had jumped with a little more than one lap to go. Bruce's hard tempo looked like it was going to take care of Michael's jump. H was on my wheel as I expected. I had asked Don Kimper weeks ago if he would get on my wheel at the end and keep my buddie H off it. Nope! H was right there. Going into the last corner Bruce had overtaken Michael Edwards and gave one last surge and then swung wide. I followed for a second and this opened the door for my shadow(I got a lecture afterward from Mario that I shouldn't have hestitated). H started the sprint and then I got out of the saddle. It didn't take long to see that H was faster. This day. This time. He smoked me.
H wins 65-69. I was 2nd. Mike Fleming let up a bit at the end and Fritz pipped him at the line for the last podium spot. In 70+ Mario Seri was 1st and Daniel Wulbert was 2nd. The last podium spot in this category for the SCNCA championship went to Jacobo Melcer.  In 75-79 Robert Paganni won the affair in  two up finish. Jack Palmer was the only 80-84 rider and of course Gordy Shields was the only rider 90+.
It was a good clean race. Not too exciting though. The pace was 22.8 mph or 2 mph slower than the 55/60+ race. We were paid $200. I suggest forgetting the money. We didn't race for that. Give the 60s some incentive to race with  the 55s later. I also suggest a slightly later race time. Cat 5s traditional start a race or the group that has the least riders like the women masters. Sorry gals. If you don't show up in numbers, you should go before the men that do. That's all for now folks! Train hard and race safe!

65+ podium- Tomasello, H, & McKee

70+ podium- Melcer, Seri, & Wulbert

75+ podium- Paganini & Sowers

80+ podium- Palmer

TORRANCE CRITERIUM- 55/60+ RACE 2012

By Leo Longo

The night before the Torrance Crit, I was lying in my bed, listening to the rain. I live just 2 miles from the race venue, and given it was raining, I was not looking forward to racing in the rain. But by morning, the rain was gone and there was nothing in the skies but sunshine and wind. Lots of wind. This race venue can be windy in the afternoon, as those who live in the area are very well aware. But to have this kind of wind in the morning is not typical.

 

As a member of the host club, I arrived at the course early. Everything was a buzz. Volunteers were everywhere and registration was humming. Course marshals were plenty and we, The Bike Palace, were ready to put on a great event. (Shameless plug for my club)

 

There is a great side road available to warm up on, and thus no need for a trainer. As I rolled back and forth on this road, the wind continued to strengthen. The course is a 6 corner affair, with the finishing stretch into the wind. There is a chicane just after the start/finish, with a short leg to turn three. Then a short section to turn four. The next leg is almost 1/2 mile long and down wind. This stretch can be pretty fast, especially entering turn five. At this turn, you transition from the down wind section to, basically, a cross wind section. The wind will catch your front wheel if you're running deep v's, and I saw many a lead rider (in the later races) come through this turn and over correct, almost going down. You really need to know this corner to get through it as full speed. And you need full speed because this leg is short, leading into the last turn. If you are first through the last turn with a 10 meter lead, there is a good chance you can hold off the field for the win.

 

So, the 55/60s are called to the line. I look around to see who is there. I count thirteen riders. Eight 55+ and five 60+. This is going to be both easy and hard. Easy in the sense that the numbers are low and hard because the numbers are low. If you gap on the up-wind leg, and the group putts down and attack, you could get dropped on the down wind leg and never recover.

 

The whistle is blown and off we go. The first lap is as expected. Everyone is still warming up their legs. Lap two sees Ricky Shorts attack. He gets a good lead, but it's into the wind. The group brings him back. The next couple laps are uneventful with a couple more riders testing their legs. No serious threats. Then we have a preem lap. On the back side, I see that no one is really setting up to make a go of it, so I went to the front and lead the group around turns five and six. I ramp it up and am watching the shadows coming from behind. The sun is still low enough that I can see a rider is catching me. I go a little harder and his shadow stops making up ground. Then he comes again and I start sprinting. He marks me but is not overtaking me. Then with just 20 meters left, my legs give out. (I'm still recovering from a late winter illness). The rider, Rodney Malloy, sees this and puts in another effort and overtakes me for the preem. Rats.

 

This was a really hard effort and everyone shuts down. All except Deogracias Asuncion, Dao to those who know him. Dao launches a vicious attack. No one follows. Two laps later, Dao has a half lap lead. So when I say he launched a vicious attack, I mean vicious.

 

This is the way it continued until approx 3 laps to go. At this point, John LaGrandeur goes after Dao. The reset of the field is just waiting for the last lap. This was evident by the pace. We were riding along at approx 15mph into the wind and just 20mph down wind. John catches Dao and they fight it out for the 55+ win, with Dao taking it. The reset of us are groupo compato going into the finishing straight. The sprint is clean with everyone respecting each other. Ricky wins the field sprint for third in the 55+s. I'm not sure of the finishing order of the rest of us, but Howard Miller was first in the 60+ with me close on his wheel for second, and Fred Haim just another bike length behind me for third. The results are up on SCNCA if you'd like to check out the rest of the results and categories.

 

All in all, a good race. We were racing for merchandise and I know there were comments about that. For second place in the 60+ I received two Schwalbe tires and an etched beer glass, similar to what Paramount does. Our glasses showed the race name and the placing. I think that was a pretty good deal.

 

Last year there was a very good turnout for our cat at this race, and the rest of the categories too. But like a couple of years ago, this year we were up against another crit. That explains the lower numbers. If we can get on the calendar with no other competition, I would expect a good turnout next year.

 

55+ podium- LaGrandeur, Asuncion & Shorts, R.

60+ podium- Longo, Miller(you need a up to date kit, Howard) & Haim

AVENUE OF THE FLAGS CRITERIUM A BIG HIT WITH 55/60+ RACERS

By John McKee

Buelton, California is a good distance from most of Southern California but is quiet a beautiful area. There are wineries galore in the area. The idea of a criterium to showcase the town and bring people in came forth and presto... the new Avenue of Flags Criterium for 2012. The date was set for March 31, 2012. A Saturday which is harder to travel to because of Friday and early morning Saturday traffic. Sign ups were a little slow this year but hopefully if the event can keep going should build in the future(Got word from the promoter that it WILL be back next year).

Start of the Ave of the Flags Criterium 2012- 1st edition

There was a bit of a controversy before hand because the 55/60+ racers were thrown in with the women cat 4s. All racing at the same time. This kept down the attendance a little but didn't prove to be a problem during the race. 15 55s and only 5 60s showed up to contest the race. Spy/Swami's was the only major 55+ team to show with 4 riders. Paramount had 3 riders in 55 and 60.
Things took a little longer to get going and though the 55/60+ was scheduled for 7:35 am the race didn't start until 7:50 am. The race was off on a L shaped course with a mini power climb before the last turn which was a wide 180. The course length was .7 miles. Quiet fun and challenging. The 55/60+ racers started first and 20 seconds later the 6 cat 4 women started. There was a motor referee on the course to help with matters such as passing lapped riders. Spy/Swami's kicked it up a notch at the beginning and strung things out and dropped a few riders right away. After 4 or 5 laps I was starting to hurt. Mike Birditt and Rick Swanson had been doing the pace work. The pace eased off a bit and I got my sea legs for this course. Once you got the feel for the corners, it made things easier.
Mike Gourley of Santa Clarita Velo was there and racing for the 1st time since a crash at Ontario in 2011. Nice to see Mike back racing. Mike is strong and proved to be a counter anchor to Spy/Swami's along with his teammate John Luke. There were a few unknown faces from local clubs and some of the northern area of the SCNCA. Kim Bleth of Spy/Swami's was the designated hard charger for their squad. Kim would usually attack on the mini power hill and create a gap. He was always brought back to the pack by a concerted effort from all but Spy/Swami's.
The payout was to be $400 for both 55s and 60s but proved to be short of that. The primes were to be merchandise only but there was one prime and that was a bottle of wine but a good one(like in "Police Squad" when the mayor is explaining to Frank Drebbin(Leslie Nielsen) that the Shakespearean actors he shot in the park were "good ones"). Mike(sprint and look)Birditt did his usual super powered sprint for the line and then looks around and see what damage he has done and whether he needs to kick it in again. His teammate Dale Luedtke thought about going for it and sprinted by me within a gnat's eye lash of myself and my bike going about twice the speed. Lol. Mike got the prime and a small group of 4 including Birditt formed but were chased down quickly. A rider in a plain blue jersey by the name of Rick Adams from CoreTechs Cycling Team did a lot of work chasing during the day. He should race with us more.
Everyone is all back together now and about 12 minutes left in the 40 minute race. Kim Bleth did another attack. Same place as the times before and was joined by Doug Knox. Doug is 60+ but was racing 55+ because he doesn't like a separate categories racing together. You will have to talk to him as to why. Doug did most of the work the first lap together and then Kim dropped him. Oh well.
Kim kept his heart rate at 168 and kept going. Not far from the pack but far enough to make bridging very difficult. John Luke came to the front and chatted with his teammate Mike Gourley and said he would work to bring Kim close. The idea was for Mike to then bridge across. Birditt was figuring on this and was ready to go with him. Dale said later if you went, I was going to go too. John Luke couldn't bring Kim quiet close enough. Rick Adams was also chasing. Every time they made a dent, Kim would pull back away. It came down to the last lap and was a fore gone conclusion that Kim was going to win and win he did! Nice win for Kim Bleth of Spy/Swami's. The field was now racing for 2nd place in 55+ and 1st place in 60+.
Monty Pettus went to the front to set the pace on the last lap. Monty and I had agreed that he would help me on Sat. and I would help him on Sunday. Raphael Gomez was marking Monty and I through the race but the pace got to him and he fell back in the pack. Mike Birditt was up front waiting for the right moment. Mike Gourley was going to contest Mike and a rejuvenated Dale Luedtke. Monty Pettus gave way somewhere on the power climb before the last 180 turn. The flyer says there is 800 meters after the last turn to the finish line but it didn't seem quiet that long. It was slightly downhill and fast. Mike Gourley led it out and Birditt jumped at some point along with his teammate Dale. Birditt won the field sprint with Luedtke next and then Gourley. John Luke followed in along with the next finisher Alex Collins. First race back for Alex after injuring his neck at Murietta in a crash.
The 60+ race was pretty much a fore gone conclusion. I came by Monty about 100 meters from the end for the win in 60+. Monty was 2nd and Raphael was 3rd. The ageless one Robert Paganini was 4th and Raphael's brother Vincent was 5th.
As mentioned the payouts were short of the $400 but each placer got a nice bottle of wine so the total value of the payout was around $400. Great event and course. Mark this one down on your calendar for next year. Fun for all. Full results below the podium pictures. All pictures courtesy of Diane Pettus. That's all for now folks! Train hard and race safe!

55+ podium- Luedtke, Bleth, & Birditt- Spy/Swami's sweep!

60+ podium- McKee & Pettus
