The second race Central Oregon Race Series saw
much better weather and racing conditions than the first race, held one week
earlier. With temperatures in the mid-70s and a light breeze,
conditions were near ideal. In the B race, a three person break away
began early and held on for the finish. Unattached rider Jim Lindsey
was able to win the sprint from his breakaway companions and Hutch's team
mates, Helen Grogan and Dan Davis. Chad Lowe led the splintered filed
for 4th place. In the A race, junior David Robinson
attacked with seven laps to go and built nearly a 30 second lead. His
efforts were thwarted when the more experienced and criterium savvy Eric
Martin and Ed Roberts bridged on the last lap to sneak past David at
the line. Eric edged Ed in a repeat of the finish of the 2000
Masters Twilight Criterium at the CCC. Eric Long won the field sprint
15 seconds later for fourth place.
This is the last scheduled race in the series,
but hopefully others will follow later in the season. A different
venue may be necessary, though, because of the heavy use schedule at the
deschutes county Fairgrounds.
