mt joy - another hub podium!
Hub Racing's Arley Kemmerer rode with strength today in the
Mount Joy Road Race. The race was spattered with rolling
hills and one brutally steep climb. Arley made an attempt
early in a break with Marjan Huizig, but only dangled off
the front. But it was on the steep climb that Arley truly
made her mark. On the 3rd of 4 laps she attacked hard
midway up the climb, and while she couldn't seperate, the
damage to the field was immense. Close to a third of the
remaining riders came off the back, and the splintered
field was left with few dedicated sprinters. Arley tried
again with Marjan, and while again they only dangled, the
position set Arley up for the long finishing stretch. Arley
took advantage of her strong position into the finish and
took 3rd behind junior sensation Sinead Miller and Aaron's
Pro Cyling's Erica Allar.
