Joe DeMars was putting on a clinic today winning the first 4 hills then Gabe spoiled his shenanigans by taking Hill 5.

With the Triple Crown safe we headed back.  That’s where a little controversy begins.

After riding down Galvin Parkway we stopped for the light at Van Buren.  When traffic cleared we proceeded.  That’s when Brett sprinted ahead grabbing the draft of a Phoenix city bus.  It was actually pretty funny seeing him drafting the bus and slowly pulling away from the group.  Brett built a nice little gap.

But the bus only took him a half mile or so then pulled off.  I thought for certain we’d catch him before Mill.  Except for the light.

Brett’s timing was perfect.  He hit the light at Mill/Curry with green turning to yellow, slipped through with a gap and left the rest of us stopped at the Red.

The controversy?

There was some, not a lot, but some discussion surrounding the use of the city bus as an aid to his sprint win.  Most of that discussion though was from Aaron who was “best of the rest” and was looking to get himself a win.

But as Joe DeMars noted, any one of use could’ve done the same.  So with no real outcry of abuse it appears Brett’s Sprint victory remains intact.

It was Friday lite at Hoss’ place but we picked up riders along the way.  By the time we were rolling up 56th St. towards Camelback we were about 30 strong.  Great to see Chuck out on the tandem with Cameron and they even mixed it up on the sprint on Mill.

It was the Clint and Joe show today with those two winning the hills but GC took the sprint.

Hill 1 – Joe D.
The Castle – Clint
Hill 3 – Joe D.
Hill 4 – Joe D.
Hill 5 – Clint
Sprint – GC

Hoss missed the shot but boy it was close.
