The Virginia Beach Wheelmen took four riders to compete in the Cat 3 race. All of them had goals to accomplish and something to prove to themselves. For John Gray and Tim Shockley it was a chance to test some early season fitness and see if they could get into a break a do some work at the front of the pack. Mike Tamayo has spent the winter attached to a trainer trying to get rides snuck in between work, a two year old and a brand new baby who arrived earlier this month. Joshua Goyet has been building fitness back for the last several months after returning to the bike following a back injury. The distance was going to be the challenge for both Mike and Joshua.
All four Wheelmen finished the race and felt good about their accomplishments. They mixed it up in the breaks, assisted with the chase and even had parts in the final lead out. When it was all over, although not on the podium, the Wheelmen were thrilled with the start of the 2014 racing season.
John Gray 11th
Tim Shockley. 15th
Mike Tamayo. 32nd
Joshua Goyet 35th
