Huge Weekend!

More in a little bit, but for now, TIME Pro Cycling had by far the best weekend of the year with a string of great rides at both Nature Valley and the Harlem Skyscraper Classic.

In Minnesota, the team started picking up steam in Stage 4's Minneapolis Downtown Crit with Tom Soladay spending 16 of the 40 laps off the front. Jered Gruber picked it up the next day in the tough Mankato Road Race and spent a good 50km off the front for the day and managed to pick up the Most Aggressive Rider Jersey - the team's first jersey at an NRC race!



Not to be outdone, the contingent racing in Harlem took it to the next level as Eric Barlevav outsprinted Bahati, Keough, and Freddie Rodriguez to take a huge victory at the highest level. Eric threw his bike so hard for the line that he tumbled as he crossed the line the winner. The pictures and news from the crash are everywhere, and we will certainly link to them, but for now, just a little picture of the happy aftermath...



Again, more to come, but for now - the whole team is ecstatic over the past week's progression: Ramsey in the break at Philly, Soladay in the big break in Minneapolis, Gruber with the Most Aggressive Rider Jersey, and then Barlevav with the spectacular victory in Harlem!
