Masters Team at Walnut Grove

Here is a snippet from our Master's Teams riders Mac and Glenn on their adventures at the Walnut Grove Road Race

Greetings,
We are the two oldest guys on the team, Glenn thrift and Mac canon. We race the 45+, sometimes if we are lucky the 50+(both of us are 51 this year!). And if we are a good dog,we race pro-am!
Sunday was a great day for the odd couple. Glenn, coming back from being diagnosed with type II diabetes last year, was on the move right away in the 55 mile ,hilly road race.
We were racing with the 35+ today and that is always a tall order with the Carolina Masters Team led by Ryan Jenkins and Judge Charlie Brown. Several 35 ers got up the road and one 45+ made it. Later, he was dropped by the Ryan express.
I decided to go on one of the hills before the finish. Glenn held back the usual chasers so I could get a gap. He did have a conversation with Gorden Stiel, a former 30+ masters national champ, to get away and come to me. It worked and we rode the final 27 miles loop together. Gorden and I picked up Pat McCallion, a former teammate and world time trial champion. Pat is an excellent stone mason and father of two. He is making a comeback this year.
We rolled in together for 6,7 and 8th overall. Isecured the 1st 45er for the day. Glenn gave a country mile leadout for 3rd in 45 for an awesome ride. Papa Glenn was happy to get his first "envelope" in several years. It was a real pleasure working together once again!
