Twin
Sizzler
By: Ted Ingraham
The annual 4th
of July Twin Sizzler race in Medina is always well attended by
Freewheelers and this year was no exception! I can think of at least 15
members who raced, but I know we had more than that at the team picture
after the race. It was great seeing all the bright red/yellow
Freewheeler colors, but even better—we had some great results!
I
believe eight members placed in the medals. Dave Cockley was the
big winner, placing first in the 18–34 elite race by beating a number
of other top racers. Another big first was Angelo Catalano
winning his age category. Angelo is a new racer who we’ve watched
progress all season long. That was his first win—but it won’t be his
last! Other significant firsts were Beth Large and Cathy
Bedell doing their first ever races—and both winning medals!
Including Beth and Cathy, we had five women in the race. (Although they
were not all wearing the team jersey!) Congratulations to everyone, and
thanks for making the club look so good! (Also, thanks to those who came
out for the picture!)
