HUGE thank you to all the racers who came out to make the inaugural Fouche Gap Road Race a resounding success! We truly appreciate the fact you were willing to come out on a Holiday weekend to ride with us. Plans are already in the works to make next years race even more exciting for you.

Just a couple of quick notes:

1. RESULTS ARE UP!

2. PICTURES! We were very fortunate to have Brett May from BrettMayPhotography.com come out to take pictures along the race course. You can get a quick preview of some of the photos that will be available on his flickr site HERE.

Photos will be available for purchase within the next couple of weeks. Brett is off on another location shoot for the next several days so there will be a delay before all available photos can be edited an posted for purchase. We will send each of you an email letting you know when the photos are available.

This was a test run for Rome Velo and therefore Brett was only able to provide one shooter for the day. As a result we cannot guarantee that photos will be available for every rider.

Tour de Tuscaloosa 2012

Rome Velo’s Tina Locklear continued her podium streak for the 6th consecutive week. Locklear was the only Rome Velo squad member to attend the 6th Annual Tour de Tuscaloosa over the weekend.

Saturday’s Criterium was run in downtown Tuscaloosa. The womens Cat 3 and Cat 4 riders rode as a combined group. Locklear placed 4th overall and 1st in her Cat 4. Placing 4th overall earned her $125 as well as an additional $50 bonus for placing 1st in her category.

Sunday’s Lake Lurleen Road Race was run with all women Categories 1, 2, 3 & 4 combined. Once again an early crash separated the field along with several challenging uphill sections for 40 miles. Locklear was able to hang on with main group, but tired legs left her unable to sprint for the last 500 meter uphill finish. Locklear finished 4th in her category but was still in the money with a $125 payout.

Locklear said she is very pleased with her results and is looking forward to a non-race weekend for rest and recovery. .

The entire team is preparing for the upcoming Fouche Gap Road Race to be held on Saturday April, 7th in Rome, GA. Please come out and join us on the road. A link to the online registration can be found here:

Dalton Grand Prix

Team Rome Velo was well represented this weekend at the Dalton Grand Prix, presented by Bear Creek Bicycles and Spincycle Sports.

Once again, the women’s team dominated the event with an outstanding effort. In Saturday’s time trial, Locklear, Ahearn and Noyes took positions 2, 3, 4. In Sunday’s road race, Locklear and Ahearn worked as a team to push the pace on the open road. A small group rounded the last corner together and the final sprint put both women on the podium again. Locklear took first and Ahearn took third place.

This was Ahearn’s first open road team event and a stellar result. Locklear has now found herself on the podium in every event of the 2012.
