Bike Boy Awards- Part 2

Best Breakaway: Does anybody remember watching Brian Rach fly the coop at U0fA? He went all by himself, with no teammates in the field to block for him. He held off the pack to win by a solid margin.

The David and Goliath Award is given to Tulio Weber. He, a 15 year old little'un, beat out the Cat 4/5 field at Avondale. 75 people entered the race, but Tuli came in all by himself!

Best Website: It's unusual that a photography website would get this award, but Kathleen Dreier clearly demonstrated great commitment in keeping her site updated. Everybody frantically checks the site when they get home from a race!

The Day of Insanity Award goes to the State Road Race Championship. Holy pizza, that was a crazy race. It was HOT, HOT, HOT.

The Holy Socks Award (awarded to the best public display of pain) is awarded to Jake Spelman. He went down 3 times within 4 weeks. He really displayed the pain.

The Long Time Cat 3 Award is awarded to- okay, now I know everyone tends to get really offended when I lay this award on somebody. I believe this award is up to snuff, though. I counted up Dan De Mos's points over an 18 month stretch from TBC of last year to the DC Ranch Crit of this year. In that span of time, he recorded 40 points. It was 47 points if I counted TBC as having 50 starters. That's...a lot of points.

The Super Field Fodder Award will go to Darrell Anderson, my own father, for the drubbing he went through at Avondale. He made the hard choice to enter the Pro 1/2 race. It was a brave decision. The field was decimated by the likes of Marcotte, Brown, and Rubelt. During the Havoc, Anderson was popped, yet clawed his way back to finish 12th.
