Oliver, Chong-Tenn Rage At SomervilleCaldiera scores second

How the Gray Ghost Saw Itby Pete Swan

Somerville (May 30)-- "That magic feeling ...." is playing in the back

of our brains as we start to warm up for the 40+ on yet another gorgeous

day! But, who would have guessed how special a day for NCVC? First

things first, as we scramble to find Rick Barnett a replacement rear

derailleur. An old MTB Deore XT from my tool box and some last second

cable adjustments by the pit mechanic save the day. "Hearts of Lions" Pete

Nye is in the stars &bars, and the Big-O seems particularly mellow today.

While introductions are being made for the Montgomerys and Phillips of the

sport, Tom Kellogg leans over and tells me my bike has a "cool paint job"

... score one for Klein! The field is whizzing, as usual. Then, a dangerousbreak including Ballard and Vruegenhill goes off with 5-6 to go and it looks

like the race is over. Finally, Gellineau, who really has his heart set on

winning this thing (3 times 2nd in [his big race), makes a monster move to

get up to the break and blow by it. This activates the field, and with lessthan one to go we are back together. Must have been the chase taking the

salt out of the field, but for some reason we didn't take off (as usual)

between 3 & 4 .... waiting instead for another monster move by Gellineau

out of 4. I'm 2 rows back, but I can hear Jce Saling hyping the crowd withhis teammate's apparent victory .... it's Gellineau, Gellineau .... wait, Bruce

Oliver takes it! As the surge began in response ro Gellineau's attack I could

see Bruce floating on wheels at the front, and then, boom, he cracked out of

the middle, splitting [he two Somerset Wheelmen; Bobby Farrell took 3rd.

As I caught up to Oliver he had this unchazacteristic astonished look

on his puss and could only mumble, "I think I just won." It was like he had

gone into another quantum space/time event... beating guys he never beats.He was not in [he race, the race was in him! He was not the observed, hewas the observer! Deepak Chopra explains it like this when he talks aboutpeak performance. "Life is a field of infinite possibilities ... a continuum of

gaps. Each gap is qualitatively different from the other. Higher states of

consciousness (performance?) are nothing other than the ability to get into

[hat gap. This is the mechanics: *Slip into the gap, *Have the desire,Release the attachment to the outcome, *And the universe(officials?) will

sort out the details." As Hans (SNL) says, "Hear me now, believe me later!"

The rest of us were just out of the money, but Oliver buys the beer next

time!Olivers ride of the lifetime was soon to be followed by Chris

Chong-Tenn's masterful ride in the 30+ event. Late in the race a 5 - 6 man

break forms up, powered by Skip Foley and containing "Carpenter Chris."

With 200 meters to go, Chris pops off the back of the train and rockets

toward the line. So sure of his win is he that the anus go up for the

cameras. But wait, out of the comer of his eye, someone is coming (Skip)

... one hand down to the bars, two quick strokes and victory is secured!

Unbelievable! Two wins at "The Show!" And, Gibby Gordon brings homethe field for 8th place. Now it's Pat Caldeira s chance to shine. The Master

Women line up behind the younger gals and off they go. Before long theyoung troop starts knocking at the back door ... and Pat is ready. She attacksthe field and takes one Potomac Velo rider with her. Now here comes the

June MeetingMinute s

IvIINiTTES OF GENERAL MEETING6/6/'94

Tom Snyder, SecretaryL Mike Butler started off the meeting by

bringing up the August 28th race.1) Longer distances were discussed.2) More prize money for Overall race.3) Splitting the women's race into 2 races.These issues will probably be discussed

and decided on at the next executive committeemeeting.

II. Bruce Oliver proposed legislation.Bruce Oliver then took the floor to

e~lain 2 pieces of legislation he has submittedto the USCF.

1) 'The first piece is a proposal w takeNorthern Virginia, and Washington D.C. fromdistrict 42 and move them to district 20 whichis Maryland and Delaware.

2) The second piece of legislation is tolower the percentage of "Elite" riders or ex-riders on the USCF Board of Directors. T'heconcern is that much of the budget is spent onelite programs and not used for the grass rootsor development programs.

III. Ride of the MonthNominations: Bruce Oliver for his win at

Somerville, Chris Chong-Tenn for his win atSomerville, and John Elting for his string of 3wins in the month of May. The award wasgiven to Bruce Oliver and Chris Chong-Tenn.

N. Prize splitting/sharing.Mike Buffer spoke about this topic in

some detail as this practice is not being done.Mike explained that the it is up to the winnerof the money to distribute as he/she feelsnecessary. This is an unwritten rule or etiquettethat should be practiced based on the teamsupport received by other teamma4es.

At the end of the meeting Bruce Orecounted his Somerville victory. ...'Ihe fishwas how big Bruce???!!!!! Tl~e meeting thenadjourned as the fire and Gatorade orders weeefilled by Dave Goodwin.

NCVC at Tour of SomervilleBruce's Winning Rideby Bruce Oliver

The field was twitchy and nervousthroughout the race. However, the race reallybegan with three laps to go. I had just movedclose to the front when Darell Vrugdenhill(Scott-BiKyle-Flyers), Richard Henry (CRC ofA) and someone else jumped from the field andestablished a serious gap. 1 was in a goodposition, when aSubaru-Montgomery rider andothers, including our own Ed Caideira(Metropolis/NCVC), put their noses down anddrove the field faster than it had gone to thattime. I really had to dig in to keep up the pace,even though I was close to the front and didnot have to waste energy by braking in thecorners or trying to move toward the front ofthe single-file train.

About the time that we came across theline for the beginning of the bell lap, weapparently enveloped the break. I confirmedthat fact going into the second turn of the lastlap, when I saw Vrugdenhill among the ridersat the front of the field. At the same time, Isaw that Patrick Gelleneau (Forza/SomersetWheelmen) had made a bold, well-timed solomove, and was already about 150 meters aheadof the field. No one was bold enough to followand the field seemed to settle for a sprint forsecond place.

Coming out of that comer, I rolledforward into about eighth position 1 took aposition on the left edge of the wedge-shapedfield which pressed its flat side against theright-side of spectator-lined curb. As the fieldapproached tum three at the end of the verylong back-straightaway, riders surged forwazdon my left, trying to get a better position intothe very tight third tum, turning the wedge intoa blunt instrument. Fortunately, [was ablerepeatedly to surge forwazd as well, keepingmy left elbow and shoulder ahead of the ridersto my immediate left. That enabled me to glidebrake-free into and out of turn three, still inabout eighth position, and to maintain thatposition pedalling through the last tum.

Coming out of the last turn and into thefinishing straight, I was a loaded gun. I had myplace along the left side of [he road, behind astring of powerful riders who could provide aperfect wheel for a long wind-up. We waitedintensely for the expected firs[ move for thesecond-place sprint. Then a group of no-nameriders upset everyone's expectations as theyflew up on our right.

I have no actual recollection of the nextfew hundred meters, but apparently the surge ofriders on [he right pulled the trigger of theloaded gun. I got off the saddle and exploded

July, 1994

from the group at just that moment, startingmy sprint about400-500 meters from the line— no one got onto my wheel.

A[ about 200 meters, I must havepartially regained consciousness, because Isensed more than saw something ahead on theleft side of the road. It was Patrick who I hadcompletely forgotten about in the blindingintensity of the sprinting moment. He seemedto be going slowly, so I first imagined that hemust already have crossed the line and thatthe race was over. Then I saw the blueawning over the announcer's stand -- at thefinish line -- that I had fixated on before the

race, during the nationalanthem. I realizedthen that there was still about 200 meters togo.

With that realization, I leaned forward,still sprinting off the saddle in my 54x12 andliterally screamed to the finish.AAAAA !!! I sensedagain more than saw that I had passed Patrickbefore the line and, as I crossed under thestart-finish banner and past the announcer'sstand, I got a chill as I realized what had justhappened.

Read Thi sMaster's Nationals Special Events Fund.

At the most recent executive committeemeeting, the committee discussed therestrictions for navel reimbursement for theMasters Nationals, coming up in mid July. Tobe reimbursed from the Special Events fund fortravel expenses to the Nationals, the TeamDirector, Mike Buller, must have, by the end ofthe monthly membership meeting (July I1.1994), in writing, your proposal. Proposalssubmitted after the monthly meeting, andespecially after the National Championships,will not be considered. Of course, entry feeswill be reimbursed through the usual channels,and are not subject to the special events fundrestriction.

As was detailed both last year and in arecent issue of the Velo Voice, your proposalmust contain:

1) a statement detailing which races youplan to ride at the National Championship,together with a reasonable assessment of yourpotential for a medal or other justification forcompeting (teamwork counts here), and

2) an itemization of your projectedexpenses during your stay at [he Nationals.Such expenses might include travel (planes,trains automobiles), lodging, or food.

Please attempt to be both specific andrealistic for both of the requi~men[s.Statements such as "about $100 for travel"indicate alack of planning. Much preferred azestatements such as "900 miles round-u-ip at30mpg = $30.

The Team director, aided by the executivecommittee, will assess the proposals in light ofthe available funds and disperse thereimbursements after the championships. Notravel advances will be possible.

Grey Ghost, from p. 1~gular women's field. The motorcycle sees thisand diruts the Master Women's field to slow ...not knowing that Pat is up the road! While allthis is going on, Dottie Sating slips into theregular women's field and (allegedly) passes Patand the other rider. What a mess! Pat (and theofficials) don't even know what lap they're on.Pat luckily finishes ahead of her breakawaycompanion, who doesn't sprint ... and Salingcomes in saying she is 1st. After much heateddiscussion, Sating gets the win (NJ mafia) andPat gets 2nd (Betsy Davis and Carole Mooreare furious and vow never to repeat the raceunder this format). Pity, the dispute sort tookthe fun out of Pat's great ride. No problem,Districts and Natz aze coming..... plenty ofglory ahead for our one-woman wreckingmachine.

From the MikeWords of Wisdom from our Team Director

You cool-guys, lazy-guys, or don'[-care-to-guys should give a club meeting a shot. Atthe last meeting, we had quite a bit to celebrateabout: Big(time) O(liver), JA Chris Chong-Tenn, and Pat Caldiera's Somerville success;Johnny Breakaway (Epting)'s severalbreakaway victories; The masters teamwork.We also discussed how to improve ourteamwork and the dreaded Prize-splitting.Unfortunately, most of the folks it applied towere not there, but everyone was in agreementthat:

1. We will not get rich off of the prizes.2. Most folks don't really care about the

cash; it's the recognition [hat is desired -andthat's what prize splitting is all about. It's likesaying, "Thanks for your help, you made mysuccess easier."

3. If there will be no prize-splitting. therewill be neither blocking nor leadouts, nochasing down, and no help.

What we aze trying to figure out is this. Ifpeople won't come to the meetings, won'tvolunteer at races, won't split prizes, and don'tthink that NCVCers can help them in a race,why did they join a club? All of this remindsme, once a month, I heaz of a member whodidn't wear their club jersey while racing. Comeon. If you're riding two races a weekend, and

can't afford two jerseys or shorts, let meintroduce you to a thing called a Laundromat ortwo other things called soap and water. I'vesaid it before and I71 say it again, when youmiss a club meeting, you miss a good andinformative two hours. If you came to one andit was boring, who's fault is that? You canmake your meeting what ever you want.

Did you see that we made the WashingtonPost? Yep, in the article "THE OUTSIDELINE." by an old friend of cycling and [VCVC,Angus Phillips, our membership meeting wasmentioned.

Did you see Ex-NCVC'er KimBonnacorso (now Shipman) was pictured inWiruiing magazine, next to Twigg, Eichoff andCharameda (page 21 of the June issue)? Shefinished 5th in that Ride, Run & Rollcompetition promotion by Winning magazineon the same course as the Long Island AutoGrand Prix.

If you have any ideas on how to make our~M race on August 28 a bigger success,please do not hesitate to contact an officer andexpress yourself. Also, we will need yourservices to Road-Marshall, which, with a fewexceptions, is more like sitting in front of adriveway and watching the race. I tell you inmany ways, a road guard at a club race is a lotmore valuable to the club than a victory in

How We Saw ItRace Notes from MayMay 1st: The very rainy ALPHA LO,(Wateringford, CT) race saw Cary Bland witha coal-miner face and feeling very poorly.

Oliver proposes legislationReorganization of districts a possibility

by Bruce OliverOn behalf of NCVC, I have proposed two

pieces of legislation for the September USCFHouse of Delegates Meeting.

The first is a proposed amendment to theUSCF Bylaws to move D.C. and near NorthernVirginia (Zip Codes starting with 220-223, and201) into the current Maryland-DelawazeDistrict. It just makes geographical sense. If itpasses, the district championships will nolonger be three or four hours away and ourclub will not be split up for much of June andJuly. (Sorry guys, Pennsylvania and NYCwould be too much of a stretch this timearound. )

The second is to change the structure ofthe USCF Boazd of Directors. Currently, two ofthe eleven Board members must be nationalteam members and are elected only by Cat. 1men and Cats. t and 2 women. Also, one ofthe remaining nine members must also be anational team rider. Under my proposed

amendment, no Board seats would be reservedfor national team riders, but at least onemember from each of the three sections(Eastern, Central and Western) must hold aCat. 3 (Sport) or higher category license. Iwould hope that this could help bring theUSCF back to the grass roots.

Also, [he USCF Board just voted in favorof acquiring USPro and reorganizing the entireUSCF. It would be a new organization, "USACycling," with three Associations: USCF,NORBA and USPro. It would still have theelite-heavy board structure that my proposal isintended to change. It also would eliminateclub voting at the House of Delegates meeting,in favor of individual member voting (whichwould be much easier for the Board andmanagement [o control). I will be working withLes Ernst at the USCF to work my legislationand possible other changes into the proposednew swcture, so that the House of Delegatesmight have some options available.

Volunteer !NCVC needs you

On September 11, 1994 NCVC will beholding the East Region MastersChampionships at the Whitetail Ski azea inMercersburg, Pa, on the same course used lastyear for the Whitetail Road Race. The race willbe held on a Sunday to minimize trafficdisruption. Although traffic will be at aminimum we will need volunteers to sacrificethis day to control traffic at critical points.Besides traffic control, we will need warmbodies for registration, drivers, and generalhelp. We will need 20 confirmed people tohelp out from 8 am through 330 pm. Pleasecall Tom Snyder to volunteer. We will try toprovide breakfast /lunch for all volunteers.Whitetail now has Mt. Bike riding on the skitrails, so if we get enough volunteers, the roadguard shift will be shorter, and Mt. bike riderscan take advantage of this.

As added incentive, if you volunteer forboth this race and the Montgomery CountyCriterium Championships (August 28) you willget an extremely reduced entry fee to theAugust 28th race.

L.o[s of heated debates followed this oneabout the mixing of two races, but in the end,the riders who did it were rewarded with theirhigher places.Overall: This was a points race, with the top20 of each stage scoring -the road and thecrit were valued more than the TT. ModestMark ended up 16th. "Even with the RRproblems, I recommend this race" says Mark"It's a full, tough weekend of racing in abeautiful area. 7'he race is put on by guys whorace.

It's Not the District Road Race ! Criteriumby Doug Willier

June 18, 1994Upper Marlboro, MarylandSummer racing began in full force onSaturday, June 18, for the It's Not the DistrictRoad Race! Criterium organized by UltimateRacing. The temperature, which started at ameasly 83, would soon heat up to a record 99by the start of the Category 3 race. All theraces were run on a timed format with theshortest race (Category 5) at 40 minutes plus 3laps and the longest (Category 3) at 75minutes plus 3 laps. The course was ademanding and challenging one mile loop withthree 180 degree turns (WHAT!) and twoninety degree toms. Though basically flat(there was a slight grade change), the windand heat would play a factor in keeping groupstogether. The comment heard most oftenthroughout the day was, "It's too hard."Eighteen Category 5 racers were the first totest the new course, just as the fog wasburning off and the heat was turning up. Thisgroup would string out and bunch up over thenext 40 minutes of racing. It came down to abunch sprint with Michael Barrett (unattached)winning out over Dennis Morgan (WholeWheel Velo) and Dennis Penny (Red RoseRockets).The Category 4's were the next up for theirday in the sun. Over the next 50 minutes, theUSCF officials chewed their fingernails withworry every time this group of thirtyoneapproached one of the hairpin rums. On thebell lap, a near crash in the final turn startledenough riders to break up the sprint. A stronglead out allowed Chris Schmidt (UltimateRacing) exit first from the turn, followedclosely by Gerald Davis (unattached), a neocat4. These two fought it out, wheel-to-wheel, allthe way to the finish, but it was Schmidt whotook the glory. Ramon Benitez (ChesapeakeWheelmen) burst from the pack to take thirdover Brian Olowiany (Team Drug Free) andanother fastman Zach Browne (UltimateRacing).Sixtythree riders approached the line for one ofthe few Category 3 only races held in the area.The first few laps of this 75 minute race wereas blazing as the sun. Riders dropped likeflies. A few minor crashes (Who can pedalthrough a 180?) caused some gaps, but it wasthe constant sprinting that caused the mostpain. The technique was simple: brake andslow going into the turn, stand up and sprintcoming out. Simple if there was only 1

hairpin per lap, but 3 times (plus that slightgrade change) meant an hour long intervalworkout. Midway through the race GaryAnger (Whole Wheel Velo) crashed in one ofthe turns only to get up and back in. It wasn'tlong before Anger along with Chris Kent(Whole Wheel Velo) and Brian Schilling(Penn Velo) got off the front and stayed awayuntil the end. Carey Steelman (SouthMountain Velo) made a last ditch attempt tobridge in the final lap that earned him 4th.Kevin Gillett (Whole Wheel Velo) beat out thepack for 5th.With temperatures as hot as it would get, 21Masters 30+riders got under way. Unlike theother races before, this one started slowly a[least for the first lap. One time around and theinterval workout began. A couple early breakswere shut down, but as soon as one wascaught another began. Tom Pleasanton(MacDonalds/PRC) jumped off the front anddangled there. The pack let him sweat. Butthe peloton was in for a rude awakening whenKevin Lee (Bicycle Place) attacked andbridged followed a halfminute later by DennisSmith (Wooden Wheels). The break gotserious while the pack started to sweat. Thethree teams in [he break were well representedand solid teamwork kept any ofthecounterattacks from getting together andreeling the break in. (Oh, if only more NCVChad shown up!) Lap after lap the break gotwider and wider. Denny Boyle (Bicycle Place)launched himself for a solo attack and gotclear. He was soon joined by teammate AlanSlaughter, Jeff Putnam (MacDonalds/PRC),and Greg Smith (Ultimate Racing). Thisgroup worked together to get clear just as thelead riders lapped the field. In the final lap itwas Dennis Smith who had to rely on hissprinting strength to claim the win over Leeand Pleasanton. As the chase group roundedthe final turn, it was Slaughter who show hisaspiration for the upcoming District CriteriumChampionship by putting [he hammer downand taking fourth followed by Boyle, Putnam,and Smith. An excellent example of teamracing.A disappointing turnout (7 riders) for theWomen's race nearly caused its cancellation.Instead the race was combined with theMasters 30+ event. Three of the five hungwith the Masters with Dana Gyory (SnowValley) sprinting to a win over Lori Struzik(First State Velo) and Katie Compton (FirstState Velo).

The "greatest suffering" award goes to theofficials, who stood in the heat, without shade,for the entire day. Thanks to Curtis Russell,David DeWolfe, and Wendy Miller. A hotday, a hard course, another Ultimate race. Notthe District Road Race! Criterium

Local GossipCourthouse Criterium Update:Those of you who missed the Courthouse

Criterium on Sunday, June 26 missed a realnail-bitingly exciting set of races. In the 30+race Skip Foley and Jce Deaton nearly lappedthe field, after launching early on in the race. Inthe closing laps, though, a chase groupcontaining NCVC's own Chris Henry andAubrey Gordon went on the hunt and began toclose the gap. More and more riders beamedthemselves up to the chaser. As the groupgrew, it became progressively moredisorganized. Just as the rest of the field wasabout to engulf it, out from the front shotAubrey. Alas, it was one lap too late in therace, and he couldn't close the gap to the twoleadees, settling for third. An astonished MikeButler was heazd to exclaim, "Never in 15years of watching him have I seen him attacklike that!"

In [he 2/3 race Skip ran the same play

Local Gossipfrom page 9

Crit champ Carl[on Stadler, Zach Leonard, anda Bay area rider. With 20 to go, Stadler dis-engaged himself from the foursome andjumped across the gap to the back of the field.Fraley followed several laps later. Without thetwo motors, the two remaining riders began tolose ground on [he charging field by the lap.Jim Patton takes up the story:

"I was deeply involved in an "official'sholiday" watching a local criterium on a lkm,four comer course, when the promoter askedme to lead the 100 rider CAT 2/3/4 race on myBMW. The first 45 laps of the 54 lap eventwent smoothly with a small break lapping thefield —this level of activity helps keep scooterriders awake! Then, with the lap cardsshowing 9 to go, I rounded tum #1 and saw afire truck in the next block. Since I didn'tremember seeing the flashing lights thereduring the preceding 45 trips, I knew we werein for some excitement. The next thing Inoticed was the hoses being dragged across therace course -- OH dam, etc.! The firemanlooked up, prior to charging his hose, andwaved me on. As I accelerated and headedfort he finish line, I notice two more enginescoming head on about two blocks away andheard another approaching from the left. Ofcourse, the officials on the home stretch stilldidn't even know that they have a problem!After quickly explaining the situation to thefinish line officials, I returned to the fire trucks[o help reroute the riders off the course. Mr.Announcer person was able to convince someof the riders that the race was going [o bestopped and I managed to get them fumed on aside street before they were able to experiencethe "fire truck" maze. The fire was in theWashington Metro (think subway). Fireequipment continued to arrive for the nexttwenty minutes — we had every size and shapeimaginable. Most riders understood the problemand handled the situation well. After about 45minutes, the problem, and the big wcks,cleared the course and we had 10 VERY fastlaps to the finish."

When the race restarted, the two lonerswere released with their 10 second lead. Sincetheir lead had fallen from 45 seconds to a scant10 seconds in only a few laps, the crowd feltsure that [hey would be absorbed. Bu[ theyproved us wrong by stretching it out to almost20 seconds by the finish. Tragedy struck Skip,denying him the chance for a double victory, ashe flatted on the bell lap, riding his ui-spokehome deflated, leaving Stadler the champion ofthe day.
