Wow, it’s really fun to be able to write these short updates and report yet more podium finishes! The Carbon Racing men’s squad raced on Saturday, April 10th at the Tour of Sugar Grove hosted by Team Columbus/Taco Sports. Brian Batke and Shawn Adams teamed up to finish an impressive 1-2 respectively in the Men’s 1/2/3 field! Samantha Brode also raced in the men’s 4 field finishing 4th.
On Sunday, April 11th Carbon Racing competed at the Cuyahoga Valley Circuit Race hosted by Team Akron. Brian Batke, Shawn Adams, Tris Hopkins, Matthew Weeks, Ray Huang, and Samantha Brode (House) raced in the Men’s 1/2/3 field. Ray was off in an early break which didn’t stick because the race was reportedly aggressive with notable repeated attacks from Panther-Competitive Cyclist racers. Brian Batke eventually rolled away solo for a lap only to get swallowed up on the last lap. It ended in a sprint finish with Dave Chernosky (RGF Solutions) taking the win. Shawn Adams was our highest placed finisher with a 3rd place finish. Great job everyone!!
