Sixth at Battenkil

Earlier this afternoon I finished sixth at the Tour of the Battenkill.

100 riders started, most of the field was intact at the start of Meeting House Road and myself and Matt Cutler of Adler drilled it, reducing the lead group to the seven.

We rotated (sort of) over the remaining 10ish miles, and come to the line in a small group. Kyle Peppo of Adler won, I did the best I could, but I'm no sprinter, and am very content with my sixth place.

More to come later this week.

Great Job Andrew. Looking forward to hearing how it all went down. Who was up in the Top 5 besides Peppo and Cuttler? 6th is a fantastic result. Looks like you will be a 2 soon.

Any word on who won the Cat 2 and Cat1 race?

Andrew - no sign of you up on the results for Battenkill on Cycling news. They have Atocha at 6th. You might want to look into that.

Turns out I was actually seventh. I was pretty cross-eyed when I finished the race.

The results posted yesterday contained numerous errors, and have been corrected.
