PFSD # 1.5 Report & Results

A new record of 9 riders (5 first timers!) showed up for the impromptu 1.5th edition of the Polo Field Smack Down (PFSD) that saw a record high temp of 56 degrees (Fahrenheit)! The use of more aero equipment led to new records in all contested divisions. Cat 4 record holder Jacob Berkman showed up in a baggy t-shirt (a-la Flandis), but took it off before the start to show off his new Mission Cycling kit.

There were a couple real close battles out there with 3 riders besting last week's record!

So, here are the results: Distance: 15 laps, 10.30 miles
