Wachovia Cycling Series

Lancaster, PA, May 31, 2005 – Wachovia cycling series first stop in downtown Lancaster. A brimming crowd gathered to watch 200 international cyclists battle it out over 13 laps of the rolling and twisty seven-mile course. It was Snow Valley Professional Cycling Presented by Seal-On’s first chance to compare their fitness to that of the top European and National teams. The team consisted of Josh Taylor, Peter Baker, Ryan DeWald, John DeLong, Russ Langley, and Ben Lindsey.

The race accelerated up to top race speed from the gun and an early three man break formed. Ryan DeWald tried a solo move through the start finish line to chase after the break. After a half a lap of exciting his local fan base he was reabsorbed into the peleton. With five laps remaining the race kicked into another gear and Peter Baker was able to show that he is strong enough to be in the right place at the right time as the 200 man peleton disintegrated under the pressure of the European teams. Peter was able to represent Snow Valley Presented by Seal-On with a respectable 60th place finish.
