Riders at the Pinecone Road Race today were treated to a Belgian morning complete with rain, cold, and wind, perhaps in honor of today’s Tour of Flanders. In the Cat 4 race, Norwood’s Tony Paone and John Smertneck rode solid in the field with Tony taking 12th in the sprint.
Yesterday’s Sandy Hook Time Trial featured a lot of strong rides, particularly Norwood’s TT beast Ati Bekes. See a new photo gallery from the TT, on a surprisingly sunny and warm day for this race.

March is nearly over and the action is starting to heat up on the roads. This weekend it was back to PNC for the next to last race of the series. The Sunday slugfest brought out the majority of Team Norwood, putting stong numbers in the Cat 4/5 and 3/4 races. In the 4/5, Pedro Romeiro captured third, moving him into second in the overall points total. Bill Wisse also took a third in the 3/4 race, with good performances by the team all around.
