Iorn Hilll Twilitght Criterium

West Chester, PA, June 11, 2005 – Iron Hill Twilight Criterium, a new race for the 2005 season. The .9 mile four corner course blasted down the classy main strip of West Chester and the start finish was located in front of the race sponsoring Iron Hill Brew Pub and Restaurant. The Snow Valley Professional Cycling Presented by Seal-On team was represented by Jon Wirsing, Russ Langley, Ryan DeWald, John DeLong, Mike Beers, Ben Lindsey, Cam Holland, Ryan Oelkers, Christoph Herby, and Brad Viera. Their job was to battle Navigators, Colavita/Sutter Home, and Joe Papp’s America’s Cycling Team for the win.

The first half the race was driven by Navigators, Aerospace Engineering, and Snow Valley Professional Cycling Presented by Seal-On. With about 27 laps remaining in the race the winning break formed and Christoph Herby and Russ Langley were the Snow Valley Presented by Seal-On representatives. The break lapped the main field with six laps remaining and the race officials committed a blunder by deciding to pull the main field after the leaders had already integrated. Christoph was able to power in with the leaders for a seventh place finish and Russ won a two-up sprint just behind the leaders for eighth place.
