There was a lot of team tactics but no one got away for long and all beaks were countered. The finish was a mass sprint with most of the riders still in contact. I wasted my race with 1.5 miles to go to run down a Spin rider who was off the front by about 300 yards. Our sprinter, who won the race, called me to "go get him Bill". I pulled the group back to within 100yds and soft pedaled to the end with the back of the pack.

From what I saw RGF was dominate in the the 1,2,3 race with at least 35 riders. The end was a cluster F. There was a three man break that included two RGF guys, don't know about the third. At the corner of Ira and River Rd, less than 1 mile from the finish the three man break crossed the RR tracks just in front of the tourist train. The main pack had to stop and wave to all the tourist as the train slowly went by, then get rolling, and ramp it back up to finish.
