dEVo/Escape Velocity Series With Photos

March 7, 2004 – In the A Group a little over 40 riders started with Scott Goguen and Andrew Pinfold both of Symmetrics riding to an anticlimactic finish as they crossed nearly four minutes clear of the field. Goguen attacked near the top of the climb on about the fifth of twelve laps and was joined almost immediately by Pinfold and the duo steadily increased their lead. Will Routley of Symmetrics jumped clear of the main group with one lap to go finishing about thirty seconds ahead of the bunch, which was won by Sean Dawson (Trek/VW) over Marsh Cooper of Symmetrics.

In the B group there were a few attacks made up the main climb throughout the 9-lap race but it was not until Dan Schmit (Bayside) made a decisive move with a little over three laps to go did the real race start to happen. Schmit's lead was healthy at about a minute but the group got time back each lap but came up about 15 seconds short as Schmit soloed for the win. The hard charging group was lead in by Reid Duthie.

The C group was a little sparse on competitors but those that did race put on a good show. The 6-lap race was slowly whittled down to a select group of four. At the start of the final lap Marc Bohm ( Coastal ) attacked opening up a small gap. 16 year old Naomi Cooper ( dEVO/Powerbar ) was left to chase as the remaining members of the break were also Coastal riders. In the end Cooper dropped her breakaway companions and outsprinted Bohm at the line.
