Tour of Virginia Stage 1 Time Trial

April 24, 2007

Today was the start of the Tour of Virginia for Alliance Environmental. Attending the race was: Jame Carney, John DeLong, Boyd Johnson, Mike Miller, Joe Whitman, and Chris Ernst. Team manager is Bill Short and assisting him is Missy Petty (John’s girlfriend) and Dana Cumo (Joe’s girlfriend).

This morning was the Time Trial. It was an out and back course on a hill. Basically you up the hill, down the backside, make a 180 degree turn and do it again. This was definitely not a stage that was going to decide the GC, so we won’t talk much about it.

All of the guy’s came in with respectable times. Boyd was almost eliminated as he crossed the finish line. It seems that one of the course marshals thought it would be a good idea to park his car over the finish line. Boyd buzzed him going 40mph.

Tonight is the crit. It should be very interesting.
