The racing team headed north last weekend to John Bryan State Park outside of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The 6 Hours of John Bryan is a 12+ mile lap event where racers do as many laps as possible in 6 hours (plus a lap). There are many categories from male/female/singlespeed solo, to male/female/co-ed duo teams and a family division.

Gerry Schulze and Joe Bellante teamed up and dominated the co-ed team division. Joe set the pace early with a blistering 53 minute first lap and they didn't look back. Gerry posted solid lap times forcing riders from other teams to falter. They lead the second place team by nearly 7 minutes.


Malissa Petrov teamed with junior racer Hannah Mossman for a winning combo in the Female Duo division — beating the second place team by 2 laps.

James Billiter took second place and a podium for the second year in a row in the hotly contested Solo Male race. The top four riders all lead the race at some point and the race was eventually won by CORA's Marty Sanders.

And Scott Murschel brought home a fifth place in the single speed division — a long day in just one gear!
