Forest City Velodrome: O-Cup #3

Saturday December 3rd was the busiest day so far in the short history at the Forest City Velodrome. The day started with a swap meet that was very well attended with 20 vendors selling everything from previously used Road & Mountain bikes to wheel sets, clothing, shoes and tons of parts. Thanks to Piers Davidge for his efforts in organizing the events which raised over $725.00 for the Velo-Kids Program at the Velodrome.
The third O-Cup of the Winter season saw 43 Racers take to the track in 3 main events on the day, Kilo, Sprint and Scratch Race. All events were very competitive with all racers gaining valuable experience.
Kilo's opened the event with each of the winners improving their individual times from the first event in October. In the Senior Scratch race saw 3 riders, Eric Robertson, Taylor Martin and Keith Thorarison, lapped the field, with 10 laps to go the lapped riders were taken off the track so that the 3 leaders could contest the Final sprint. As the laps counted down, with 3 to go Thoranson launched an attack that Robertson and Martin were not able to counter. At the finish, Thoranson won with Martin & Robertson coming to the line in a photo finish.
The Junior & Master scratch race had the riders on the tips of their saddles for the entire 40 laps, the pace was driven by Brooks Rapley, who would not give up the lead, several attacks had riders dropping off the back of the strung out pack. With 7 to go Vince DeJong attacked, It took Rapley 3 laps to chase down the young Junior. On the last lap Rapley came around De Jong to take the race in a photo finish.
Racing continues this Saturday night at 7pm at the Forest City Velodrome.
