And now....the Men. Touchstone Men’s Masters Cycling Team hit the pavement hard with the rubber side down for a great start in its first season. The team showed its diversity and prowess in the Spring classics by finishing in the top 10 in almost every race. Our criterium and flats riders Dave Chen, Scott Herring, and Sean Odom placed in the top 10 at Snelling Road Race, Rondee Van Brisbeen, and Wente Criterium. Our climbers Markham Connolly and Craig Steinmaus cranked up the hills at the Orosi Road Race to place 3rd and 5th respectively. Craig went on to win the Masters 40+ Cat 5 Road Race at the prestigious Sea Otter Classic in Monterey. He continued to place in the top 10 at California’s Paris-Roubaix, Copperopolis Road Race and Wente Road Race. The team is taking a break to ramp again for the late summer season except for one Touchstone racer, John Ormsby. His goal is to complete 20 races by the end of May and 40 by the end of the race season in October. You go, John!!! For team bios, race reports, and photos please visit the teams web page.
