February 26, 2008: Carolina Masters had a successful first weekend in the Greenville Spring Series with the following results: Kerry Humphrey, Cat 3: 2nd Saturday John Fender, Cat 4: 15th Saturday . 5th Sunday Randy Cress, Cat 4: 4th Sunday Chris Holmes, Junior: 7th Sunday Congratulations to up and coming hard-man Spencer Gaddy (Black Sheep Cycles) on his breakaway win in the Cat 3 race Saturday. Here is Kerry’s report from the race:
Greenville, SC - Donaldson Center - 2/23/08 - Cat 3 Race
The Cat 3 race had real Spring like weather with 65 degree sunshine and mild wind. My plan was to race conservatively in this training race. Breaks went on each lap, but they were small and with the wind and large pack, I didn't feel threatened. Last lap with 2 miles to go, one guy rolled off and none of the teams chased (not much faith in a solo effort I guess). With a mile to go another guy attacked to bridge and that caused a reaction. The chase was on, but it had started late. A sprint finish was all we had left and one guy just dangling off the front. With 200 meters to go, the assault took place and guys swept to the right. I found a little luck and a clear path to the left, but no wheel to follow. I knew my wheel was the one being followed, but was somehow able to hold off the stampede for 2nd place, just 10 yards behind the winner.
