AARP at the Masters Track State Championships

Three LGBRC trackies and a friend from Pen Velo, competed in the AARP version of the team pursuit at the Masters Track State Championships.

Nine laps (3K) around the Hellyer Park Velodrome, taking half lap pulls and going as fast as possible without dropping anyone, the LGBRC + 1 boys won the 50+ State Championship. How many other teams were there you might ask. No other would be the answer, but half of winnning is showing up.

On the up side, the LGBRC team went about 6 seconds faster than a well established Alto Velo 60+ team that wil be trying their luck at Masters Natz in early September.

So, regardless of how many teams competed, it was a good ride.

On the podium, from left to right is Ray Gildea (Pen Velo), LGBRC riders David Pulgia, Kevin Worley and Steve Stewart.
