Team Kaos (and other Nebraskans) had a good weekend at the Joe Martin Stage Race in Fayetteville, Arkansas,  held April 28 and 29th .   Rich Pearson was actually on the podium 3 times for Masters B: 4th in 40+, 2nd in 50+, and 1st in 60+, along with Bullfinch who was 4th in the 60+ age group in Masters B.    Jordan Ross (category 3) had a disappointing time trial Saturday morning but came back strong later in the day and won the  road race, covering 60+ miles of hilly country with a super fast sprint finish.   On Sunday’s crit he and two other riders had a very promising break that stayed away most of the race, only to be reeled in on the very last lap.  He hung on to finish mid-pack at the end, ending up 21st overall in GC.   Matt ODonnel competed in the Masters A race but was not in his top form and ended up towards the back, and junior Patrick Summrell also struggled, being plagued by a sore hamstring and a saddle sore that kept him out of the saddle a good portion of the weekend.   Other Nebraskans also did well:  Lincoln native Travis Furman (Lincoln Industries) won the category 3 GC, John Hovendick (Midwest Cycling Community) won the Masters B Time Trial and GC,  and Lea Kleager (Midwest Cycilng Community) ended up with 2nd in the Women’s 3/4 General Classification.   Other Nebraskans competing:  Rich Anderson, Sam Oakes, and  Joe Savoie from EVCC, Brady Murphy from MWCC, and Lee Bumgarner from Mack Racing.   Check our facebook page for more photos.
