Pro-1-2-3:
Another very active and aggressive P/1/2/3 field tried its hardest to break itself to pieces, but the horsepower in the field was too much to overcome the mild wind and the short hill. When former overall winner Tim Unkert (Unattached) and his three man break was caught at the bell, everyone knew there'd be some fireworks in the sprint.
Jacob Hacker (Unattached) eked out a win out of a very strong field. Former overall winner Mike McGinley (Anthem-CCCC) went wide around the clump of racers sprinting to earn second on his own. Chris Rozdilsky (Fiordifrutta) took third, with Barry Miller (ACT) in fourth. Stephen Badger (Sakonnet Technologies) had led out the sprint but faded a bit to fifth. Rounding out the top six was the very strong Chris Fisher (Saturn).
Hacker's win puts him in the lead with 14 points. McGinley's second zooms him up to second at 9. With another 17 points available for the next two wins, the overall is still wide open.
3-4's:

The 3-4 race disintegrated under a barrage of attacks and counter attacks. It seemed that the field viewed every move off the front as "oh, we'll get it back next lap". Suddenly, a three man group dangling off the front became an 18 rider mini-pack holding a half lap lead. Notable in the break was first week winner Rob Marcinko (CT Coast Cycling), Spring Series regular Morgan Stebbins (Target Training), the astute Stephen Gray (Bethel Cycle), and the very consistent Bryan Haas (Zephyr). With a few watchdogs from race leader Christopher Uglietta's team Jonathan Adler present, his team didn't chase.
Although the break didn't work together consistently, once Marcinko bridged up without Uglietta present, he set to work to get a decent gap. Teams that normally chased breaks like Stage One/FusionThink, Bethel Cycle, Cafeteros, and Target Training all had representation - and this effectively shut down the field.
As the laps wound down it was apparent that this break, about one fifth of the 90+ racer field, would win. Experience and strength seemed to play a hand in the results as Haas aced everyone in the sprint to win by a wide margin. Stebbins took second, barely in front of Marcinko in third. Gray took fourth for Bethel, his bike throw passing Riseth in fifth. The last points earner was Stage One/FusionThink's Chris Crowell, whose persistence in launching off the field finally paid off.
Marcinko now takes the lead at 11 points, with Haas at 10. Uglietta drops to third with 7, and John Paul Kaminski, Marcinko's CT Coast Cycling teammate, fourth at 6 points.
M40+:
The M40+ race was riddled with attacks, breaks, and chases, but when it came down to the finish, it was groupo compacto. Thomas Cromie (Sleepy Hollow) ripped off an incredible sprint to take the win, leaving himself with enough of a gap to look around at the finish. The racer everyone worried about, Skip Foley (360 Racing/Landry's) came through in second. Past overall winner Morgan Stebbins (Target Training) took third, followed by Stephen Gray (Bethel Cycle). Rogelio Frutos (Zephyr) took fifth, and Joe Straub (DKNY/Signature Cycles) rounding out the top six.
Women:
Target Training once again dominated the women's race. An attack by their racer Kathleen Billington set up a counter by overall leader and teammate Anna Milkowski. Trailing along was Amity Elliott (Unattached) who would surprise everyone later. With two top racers in the break, Target Training launched Milkowski, with Billington marking Elliott. Then when Milkowski was definitely away, Billington took off. They would finish in that order.
Poor Elliott was left stranded in front of the field but proved her worth by time trialing all the way to the finish to take a very well earned third place. The field sprint was won by Maria Murphy (Retro Velo), followed by Team Advil/Chapstick's Elisa Gagnon. Valerie Hopkins (CT Coast Cycling) rounded out the top six.
Juniors:
Bob German (CCNS/Pedal Power) is on a roll with his second win in a row. He was followed by Graham Lang (CRCA), with ACT teammates Kyle Foley and Ryan Barlow in third and fifth. Filip Capala (Capala Bros/Polska) split them for fourth.

5's (first)
The first Cat 5 race had an aggressive field willing to attack and chase each other. Eventually two Cycle Center riders, Jay Vincent and Chris Burke, attacked the field. Vigilant, the racers able and willing to chase kept the field strung out just behind them. Bethel Cycle and CT Coast Cycling tried to bring the Cycle Center duo back but were unable. One pair of riders almost bridged on their own, sowing a bit of panic in the break. Vincent started to go on his own but when the chasing duo disappeared, he eased until Burke was with him.
The Cycle Center duo won, with Vincent beating Burke at the line. The field was led in by David Lindholm (Team Sarum) and a Bethel Cycle pair Jay Moody and Kurt Weber. The last points earner was Eugene Cundelan, racking up a point while representing USI.
5's (second)
The second Cat 5 race, with a more vigilant field, stayed togther for the whole event. Out of the field sprinted Christian Baks (Pawling Cycle and Sport) for a great win. Daniel McNeilly (DKNY/Signature Cycles) was second, followed by Peter Eagleton (Unattached) in third. Target Training's Harold Kamins took fourth, Bicycle Doctor's Mark Salvagin fifth, and Bethel Cycle's John Romano rounded out the top six.
