Why aren't these kids sitting at home and letting us older guys have some glory?

13-year old Michael Dessau of Jonathan Vaughters' Team 5280 development squad was clearly the class of the field in the Men's Category 4 event grabbing a number of primes and ultimately outsprinting riders over twice his age to take the victory. Not to be outdone, 15-year old Yannick Eckmann (Team 5280) soloed off the front halfway into the 60-minute Men's Category 3 race and held off the entire field for a very convincing win. Yannick's 17-year old brother, Robin (also with Team 5280), finished 6th in the Senior 1/2/Pro race.

Brake!!!!

Yeah, sure, Sylvan Springs is a fun race. Especially when the finish is on the straightaway at the top of the course. Yeah, Eduardo pulled out an easy sprint win for the team. But what sticks out most about the race? The intense smell of brake pads as the pack headed into turn two.

To quote Duvall in Apocalypse Now... I love the smell of brake dust in the morning

I contributed my share of brake dust, too.
