March 18, 2007
20.4 Miles
Sunny, 38 degrees (11am)

Scott Co Park is truly a great venue for early season racing, with new pavement, a new Lodge, and new heated restrooms there isn't much more we can do to accommodate our racers. And race they did with a field of 52 including many new faces.

The 4 lap course proved to be just as tough as expected with each lap taking its toll on the leading pack. By the time the leadpack of 20 hit the climb on the second lap they began to split into two group, with other riders strung out all over the course.

Pete Sharis obviously wasn't happy being shelled off the back of the lead pack as he bridged back up during the second lap and took a turn at lead for a part of lap 3. With 11 riders left in the lead pack the last lap was a question on who would sacrifice themselves by leading the last and final lap. John Meehan took the lead out as the pack came of the last hill and headed up to the finish line. Five battled for the lead with Lee Venteicher and Sean Walker taking top spots with John Olney, Paul Deninger and Tracy Tompson right on their tails.

Bryan Moritz and Pete Sharis turned in fine performances finishing in the TOP 10. They are both certain to challenge for overall winner in future events with those kind of performances.

The second pack was only a few seconds behind the leaders and Bruce Grell showed some pre season confidence by charging up the finishing hill to lead in the second pack followed by novice rider Joe Mann... Joe - Get a License and get in the game!!!

It was great to see everyone out testing their fitness on this last weekend of winter. We'd like to again thank them all for coming and offer thanks to our Sponsors, Supporters, and Volunteers.

Special thanks to Quad Cities Bicycle Club for Sponsoring our event along side Dice Cycling with added support from Scott County Conservation Commission who provided a wonderful venue. Healthy Habits who provided gift cards for our winners. The Coffee Hound who provided hot coffee for our racers and volunteers.

Special Thanks to Kat Greer and Jannette Harrington who handled registration, Terry Burke and Casey Zugmaier who marshalled turns, and Mike Guidici and his son who came out Saturday and cleaned the course and lastly our official Scott Swanson.

We hope to see you all at the next Cody Race on Saturday April 21st check www.dicecycling.com/uploads/FLYER_Cody_2_Scott_Park_Cir_07.pdf for more info.
