Sandy Hook Time Trail was held on Saturday April 7th in cold windy conditions with over 300 participants in spite of the weather. George Suter scoured a respectable 5th place in the Masters 35+ category with a time of 16:31 over 11.5 kilometers.

Easter Sunday’s NYC spring series race was held in Manhattans Central Park under wintery conditions. After 5 laps of fast aggressive racing Anthony (Ricky) Lowe won the field sprint by at least 15 bike lengths to claim 10th.

Sometimes you need some luck to win a bike race. In Saturdays CRCA 2X Points Team Cup Race in Central Park Anthony “Ricky” Lowe charged to an 8th place finish but the boys were left wondering what might have been.

After an opening 3 laps of aggressive racing in which the team played a major role in containing dangerous attacks and breakaways, George Suter and Piers North were both forced to the sidelines with mechanicals courtesy of the parks numerous potholes. The remaining five raced hard to keep the field together. Ricky was set to do his thing in the sprint to the finish behind the Metropolitan Museum of art, however an ill timed chain mishap and subsequent unclipping of the cleat just as things were reaching full speed prevented Ricky from contesting the win and the team had to settle for a top ten finish.

The 3 race on Sunday was 10 laps of the 3.4 mile of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Danny Lim and Ed Zimmerman looked comfortable during the race opting to ride near the front to stay out of trouble. Going into the last 5 kilometers, Ed and Danny were able to get together on the final hill. Ed protected Danny from the wind and moved him toward the front of the field as everyone got ready for the on-coming sprint finish. Ed was able to daftly navigate through the field and keep Danny out of trouble until the final kilometer until Danny took off with a Champion System rider who attacked the field sprint early. Danny was passed by the eventual winner and second place but a bike throw helped him hold onto third place in the field sprint. Another podium for The Princeton Review / Think Racing cycling team. Ricky Lowe scored another top 10 in the Pro 123 race with a lot of hard work being done by Piers, Roger, Kenny and George.
