Stark Velo was formed in the spring of 2002 by the Stark County Bicycle Club (Ohio) in an effort to promote the development of competitive cycling.
Since we founded Stark Velo in 2002, it seems every year has improved upon the previous one, and 2005 was no exception. We fielded 28 participants, who logged over 300 entries in 52 different events across 5 states. While the majority of these were road events, we also had members enter off-road, track, cyclocross, triathlon, duathlon and non-competitive events.
The team took home 33 wins, and 67 podium spots in total. We had three members on the podium for overall G.C. at stage race events. Some highlights of the season include Mary Ellen Bailey's impressive win at the Snitger's Classic, Samantha House's state title in the TT, and 9th overall at Tour de 'Toona. The ladies also won at Zoar, Valley City and the Orrville Milk Race. Erik Lesco won the cat. 4 Ohio state championship, our fourth consecutive title, with a legendary leadout by Rick Parr. Carl Peshoff was the overall winner of the Bike Authority Cyclocross "C" series. See our 2005 race results for the rest.
Our Zoar Road Race has grown considerably in three years. With over 180 participants, it was one of the largest races in Ohio in 2005.
Thanks to all for the great competition and camaraderie in 2005. Stay fit and keep warm this off-season. We'll see you in 2006!
