The Club Championship Road Race at the Woodville course was fast paced. 34 riders started the 28 mile event. It was 80 degrees, a faint breeze, which was good for the race, but give the mosquitoes an advantage when riders got ready before the race and put things away after. A large crew of volunteers put workers at every corner (except one who got lost finding his corner, leading to one rider going off course for about 30 minutes). In the end, there were no DNFs. A main pack of 24 sprinted for the win in just under 63 minutes, followed 7 minutes later by a group of six, then another 4 minutes to the final group. Senior Jason Mishka was first, Vet Dave Komives third, Master Brian Rex sixth, Jamie Galambos 19th and Junior Chris Brinkman 25th. Scoring the race was completed about 15 minutes after the finish, leading to an early start to El Vaquero for libations and dinner.
