Ontario series #1
Ontario, California, February 22, 2004
Lane reigns in the rain
With heavy rains in the forecast, 300 riders still came out to race the first of five race Ontario Series. Light rains in the morning were a portent for the afternoon's pro race. 71 riders lined up main event with thunder cracking and bulging black rain clouds hanging just overhead. 3 laps in and the skies opened, pelting the riders with hail and sideways rain. The roads flooded about two two laps later leaving the riders to find some creative lines to avoid the 10 inch deep water. Mercifully, the pro race was shortened to 1 hour.
Despite the difficult conditions, Team DARE put in attacks from the gun in an attempt to wear down the field. Several moves got as much as 20 seconds up but the determined Velo RPM and Monex squads brought everything back until the break had the right riders in it.
With about 6 laps to go a six man break formed containing Edgar Yepez & Emilio Cervantes ( DARE), Ryan Lane ( Velo RPM), Robert Kamppila (Monex), Jason Bausch (Ofoto) and Joel Kath (So Cal Cycling). Ryan Lane displaying the best legs, shed the two DARE riders, drove the break and won with sheer horsepower on the 400meter finishing straight.
