2005 Zoar Road Race

Over 180 riders participated in the 2005 Zoar Road Race, which was presented by Stark Velo today in Zoar, OH. Thanks very much to all of the participants, officials and volunteers for a great event!

The cat. 1/2/3 field was won by Dave Chernosky [Torelli]. Kevin Lutzke, John Lowry and Scott Thor raced in the cat. 1/2/3 field for Stark Velo. This time last year, Kevin was lying in the ICU after a horrific crash at the Tour de 'Toona. Flash forward to Sunday, and Kevin was spotted in a late attack with Tris Hopkins [Torelli]. Kevin finished 10th, and John was 6th in the bunch sprint among the remaining riders. Scott was among several riders who lost touch with the pack on the third lap, and he decided to do an experiment. Read about his findings here.

The victor of cat. 3/4 field was David Schreffler [Team Dayton], and the top cat. 4 in that race was Dan Malik [Trizilla]. Racing for Stark Velo among more than 70 riders in a tough cat. 3/4 field were Erik Lesco, Mike Schiltz, Carl Peshoff, Don Bunker, Jim Flesher and Stuart Hamilton. The race ended in a bunch sprint among around 30 riders, and Erik was the best placed at 13th, and Mike was also in the top twenty.

Samantha House and Mary Ellen Bailey rode for Stark Velo in the women's field at the Zoar Road Race on Sunday, August 7, and dominated the action. Mary Ellen sparked a breakaway with Kelly O'Hara [Savage Hill] on the second of four laps, and Sam later bridged up to the move. Eventually, Sam and Mary Ellen crossed the line alone, in a 2-up sprint, with Sam taking the win. Another impressive performance by our women's squad!

Jeff Basler returned to racing for the weekend, participating in the cat. 5/citizen race with Frank Kolasa and Ross Monat. Jeff was the runner-up, Ross finished 4th, and Frank was in the top ten. Brent Warner [unattached] won the cat. 5/citizen race.

Top junior was Billy York [COBC]. Congratulations to Ryan Bunker, who also raced among the juniors.
