FloridaVelo successfully defends its Masters titles for the 3rd year in a row, and earns a total of 12 Podiums in Women, Masters, and Elite.
From the first fun ride on Friday late afternoon, it was evident that our group was ready for great times and awesome performances. We thank the spouses, kids, and friends who traveled with us and made this trip another wonderful memory for the FV family!
Congratulations to Mark Stein for a three-peat Masters 50 overall title, to Andy Mapple for his Masters 40 overall title and his amazing 5:59 TT time, to Ken Vida for being the only non-professional rider in the Top 5 (missing the podium by 1 second) and his superb 5:42 TT time, to Marilyn Cullinane and Kim Vaughn for their 2nd and 3rd stage places in Women 123, and to Cathy Davis for the overall title in Women 4. And as it is in the FV style and spirit, none of these accomplishments would have been possible without the relentless all out effort from Anthony Vasilas, Jimmy Page, David McEnery, Lucas Wardein, Pablo Santa Cruz, Graham White, and Peter Davis. Kudos also to Neil Sheppard and Will Willis who joined in the fun and made a difference.
Special mention to Bob Tyler and Bob Steward for their kindness and support!
We cannot wait to return to this great event in 2013 – thanks to Jeff Major and team for producing and hosting an international caliber event!
And of course, thanks to our Sponsors who make our dream and mission possible!
