Coming into the 3rd Stage of the 2006 Fitchburg Longsjo Classic, Cory Burns was sitting 1st in General Classification based on his outstanding performance in the opening two stages. Cory won both of those stages and held an 18 second advantage to his nearest competitor.

The Elite / Espoir team traveled to Fitchburg, MA to compete in the longstanding and very demanding Fitchburg / Longjo Stage Race, 6/29 to 7/2. We had four very good riders coming off some impressive outings at the recently completed Commerce Bank Triple Crown Elite 1/2 events in Lancaster and Reading, PA. entered this year.

After pulling into the racer's parking lot in the "team car" with Mike, Adrian, Zach Bolian (guest rider), and Neal were the only TSV guys to be found. We figured Chris and Bart had just gotten done with pre-riding the course again.

After a few weekends of longer road races, races in which I have been struggling in due to climbs that come at the worst possible time in the race for me. I set off to Somerville N.J. on a mission for a good result. I got to the race two hours early, ready to get registered and watch a few races then slowly prep for my short Cat 2 race.

This past weekend the TSV Elite/Espoir team competed in the Owasco Stage Race. This is a relatively new event, only in it's second year. However the promoter aggressively recruited Pro/Elite teams and ended up with 110 riders for the Pro,1,2 event, including riders from Navigators, Colavita, Ofoto and many of the top New England amateur teams.

Well I am typing with one hand. And I guess I should come out and say it... I had a very scary crash yesterday.
