Anand, Schuster Take Lead At Enchanted Mountain
Report by Alan Cote for USA Cycling
OLEAN, N.Y. -- The second stage of the Enchanted Mountain Stage Race wound through lush green hills and farmland of western New York, and included numerous steep climbs. The terrain was enough to thin the men's pack into a solo winner and then two thinned-out packs behind, while the women's field simply shattered.
The 75-mile men‚s race began with a flurry of attacks through the first half of the race, which covered only a few mild hills. The group of 100 remained intact entering the first significant pitch at mile 45, but after more than a mile of the 12 percent grade, the field was in one long string with gaps opening up. A scant five miles later, on the next obstacle - a two mile grind up Dutch Hill - Mercury's Matt Anand made his move. Sitting in second overall after the time trial, Anand set an unmatchable pace up Dutch Hill, and the chase group of seven could only watch him ride away. He soloed the final 20 miles of the race to snag the win and take the overall lead.
The 48-mile women's race was owned by the Saeco-Timex squad. Time trial winner Elizabeth Emery (Saturn) found she had little help as teammate Dede Demet's derailleur shifted into the spokes of her rear wheel, forcing Demet to change bikes, with teammate Karen Bliss-Livingston dropping back with Demet. After rolling through the feed zone with a lead group still intact, Saeco-Timex riders Suzy Pryde and Pam Schuster, along with Shaklee's Louisa Jenkins, emerged as the lead trio. Using textbook tactics, the Saeco-Timex riders worked over Jenkins, with Schuster slipping away with a mile left to take the stage and the overall lead.
