VDFT news

a quick "what's happening":

*ryan won the County Classic two weeks ago by 1:30 with a 22 mile solo breakaway!

*adam finished 4th in stage 2 of the Oswego stage race last saturday

*i finished 5th in the Fort Fairfield road race last sunday

*ambre has had a string of top 15's, including an 11th on day 1 of Superweek in WI

*kieran and i started the workingman's stage race, both performing below par in the tt, and then staying dry by not starting stage 2 or 3 due to the horrible week of weather we're having

*the Van Dessel Elite Team has been invited to the Mt. Holly crit (formerly road race) in NJ this saturday.  This is the beggest one day race in the Northeast after Univest.  there'll be lots of pros, euros, and international riders there, including Adam, Ryan, and myself.  adam and ryan will be looking to get a top ten each to try to bring a pro contract their way, while i'll be looking to make it past mile 20 (of 62) to bring retirement more into focus.  over the last 9 years the average speeds have been 29mph +/- 1mph!!!  combined with the super strong riders from the VDFT-NJ team who are smoking hot right now, the V on our jerseys could well stand for Victory in two days.

any other news?  let's hear it...
