Home Race ’19 Recap

Posted on March 30, 2019 by Georgia Tech Cycling

We hosted our 3rd annual Historic Brooks Road Race this year in conjunction with Topview Sports. Unfortunately, the Tuck Criterium did not make a return because of a permitting issue. The Tucker community preferred a chili cook off to a bike race that keeps them from getting to the post office, which is fair and understandable. Thankfully, Tim from Topview stepped in and moved the criterium to Gwinnett Tech for us. We’re going to try hard to make the Tucker Criterium happen next year by working a little more closely with the city and the community.

Both days of racing went smoothly thanks to all of the volunteers we had come out, the officials, Coach Barman, and Topview’s team. Being our home race, we had almost a full squad line up both days, with riders racing in the D, C, and B categories. We also had a number of alumni come out to help volunteer! It was really neat to see some familiar faces.

Here’s a list of our top five finishes for the weekend:

Road Race Men C’s- Nick Senator 4^th,

Road Race Men B’s- Jake Holt 2^nd

Crit Race Men C’s- John Graves 1^st, Nick Senator 4^th

Crit Race Men B’s- Jake Holt 2^nd

Team Time Trial Men C’s- 1^st

Men’s B RR Podium
