Overland Park, KS. – Tom Price of Trek bicycles of KC / Local Cycling.com continues his prominence in the Masters Race circuit in the Midwest. Sunday in the Master 40+ / 50+ race, Tom launched an attack into the 2nd lap of the 35 minute + 3 lap race. He was joined by Kansas City Bicycle Club’s Bruce Tanner a 50+ rider and later by Jay Hawkins of River City Bicycle club. The three would stay away for the duration of the race with excellent help from teammates in the field who shut down constant attacks from the field trying to bridge the gap.
In the end a skipped pedal in the second to last turn would decide the fate of the race. Jay Hawkins caught the pedal and caused the breakaway companions to shy away from Hawkins for fear of a crash. When Hawkins didn’t go down and he realized he had a gap on the stunned companions, he put his head down and crossed the line ahead of Price and Tanner, finishing in that order with Tanner winning the 50+ competition. Winning the field sprint was Mark Hunsaker of St. Louis Cyclones. The race was a quick race for a bunch of old masters averaging 25 mile per hour.
