San Antonio Road Race - Feb 13, 2010Category Men Pro, 1, 2: The Pro,1, 2 got off to a quick start with a crash on the first downhill taking out 4-5 riders and doing equipment damage along with 1 possible collarbone, hurt wrist, and lots of road rash. A second crash on the backstretch took out another rider in a solo crash. Fortunately, after this the race was safe other than several flats on the rough downhill section on Ramsey Road. A break of about 6 riders developed at the end of the first lap and was joined by a second small group to make a break of about 12-15 riders. There were 2 other chase groups. As the riders hit the final hill Bobby Sweeting (Global Bike Racing) cleared the group and hung on for the win with about 8 bike lengths over Oscar Henao (Z-Motion) in second with Andrew Crater (Aerocat Cycling) in third. There were 51 riders that finished out of the approximately 65 that started the 68 mile 4 lap race.

Dade City Criterium - Feb 14, 2010Category Men Pro 1, 2: The pro,1,2 field started a field of 50 riders for this 6 corner technical crit course. Repeated attacks were pulled back until finally a break of 6 riders made it away. They were later joined by 3 riders and this break was gone with 9 of the 10 money spots up the road. The break cleared the final turn with a tight sprint to the line.
