UNCA Race Reports: UGA

By Jed Hinkley:

After a weekend off due to more bad weather, sickness and injury among our riders, we were back at it this past weekend in Athens, GA.
Only two riders went down for the races on Saturday, but they had a strong showing in both races.
Drew Cistola pulled off a 5th place finish in the Men's C road race on a course that included a super steep climb and lots of rolling terrain.
In the Men's A races, our star Brendan Dillow had two great races with a Top 10 in the Time Trial and a 7th place in the road race.
He missed the breakaway, but finished strong and was 3rd in the field sprint.
On Sunday, Drew missed the start of the race unfortunately because the organizers changed the location of the race without our knowledge.
This was disappointing, but they apologized.
I did not have my best race, after being off the bike for 10 days with the Flu, but hung in until the end and scored a couple of points.

These races gave us a good idea of where we are because they included all the top schools like Lees Mcrae, Clemson, and Georgia.

Next race is Auburn which we will not be attending because it is so far away and then the following weekend is Lees Mcrae.
