Road Race
Team MACK’s Luke Schneider made a bold move on lap 2 of the 5-lap race launching an aggressive over-the-top attack that earned him a $20 sprint bonus. His daring break sparked a five-man group that maintained a strong pace all the way to the finish line, overtaking the earlier-starting Cat 3/4 riders who began five minutes before. In the final sprint, Luke powered through to claim a decisive victory, taking first place!
Time Trial
On Saturday, Luke also competed in the time trial finishing 9th, just 90 seconds off the pace—an impressive result for only participating that day.

Road Race
The challenging 7-lap course, featuring 4,000 feet of climbing, proved tough once again for both the 50+ and 60+ categories. The team showed perseverance, but fatigue from the grueling climbs and heat was apparent. Jeff Bohanan placed 9th overall, with Kent Bostick close behind in 10th. Thomas Soeder finished 19th, Thomas Burridge took 20th, and James Halpin, who had been on the podium yesterday, unfortunately, did not finish.
Time Trial on May 30th, only the MACK riders competing for the Overall Omnium took part. In the 50+ group, Price Cooper finished 9th, and Michael Twigg was 20th. For the 60+ category, Kent Bostick secured 8th place, with Jeff Bohanan close behind in 14th.
