By Shiva on February 1, 2012

The 2012 edition of the Tour of New Braunfels was off to a windy start on Saturday, January 28th for the Omloop around Canyon Lake Park.  In the 4/5 race, Carson Lange finished 8th place in his third-ever race on a road bike.  The Cat. 4 race saw Robby Ketterhagen in the money for the first time with a 4th place finish, with teammate Dean Rheaume close behind in 8th.  Lastly, in the P/1/2 race, John Korioth placed 6th.

While we didn't have any top 10 finishers in the Cat. 3 race, here's a good photo of Shiva Mayer, Jeremy Ridge, and Mike Panozzo starting the race. (Photo courtesy of http://monskat.smugmug.com/Cycling/Circuit-race/TNBs-Omloop/21230337_bvFBqs .)

Race Results: 2012 Megan Baab Memorial Road Race

By Shiva on January 23, 2012

Flat tires were the order of the day for 787 racers of all categories during the 2012 Megan Baab Memorial Road Race.  Those not struck down by the gravel and potholes on Harmon Road found themselves challenged by an unusually strong tailwind in the fastest section of the course.  Riders in the top 10 of their respective categories included:

  • In the P/1/2/3 category, Brant Speed earned 6th place for toughing out most of the race in the lead break.  (Gray Skinner also deserves special mention for double-flatting during the course of the 80+ mile race.)
  • In the 3/4, Mike Panozzo’s well-timed move to a small break brought him to a 5th place finish.
  • Lastly, Corey Fish’s leap from the field earned him not only 2nd place in the 4/5 race, but also a spot on txbra.org.

Corey Fish headed for 2nd place at the 2012 Megan Babb Memorial Road Race
