Fort Cherry Road Race… Presque Isle Time Trial.
This past weekend, Indiana Regional Medical Center cycling team promoted two events.
The first event was an “introduction to bicycle racing” clinic that was held at the Washington Blvd oval. Stephen Cummings of IRMC helped lead the clinic, and helped lead on the bike skills drills for new riders. The clinic was well attended with 30 participants, who were interested in racing for their first time. Stephen was one of a few elite racers who donated their time for the event.
Racing!
There were two races held in the region Sunday afternoon.
IRMC’s Chris Cioccio took 3rd overall in the Presque Isle Time Trial in Erie, PA.

Yes, Chris went almost 28 mph for almost 27 minutes.
The Fort Cherry road race outside of Pittsburgh PA went well for the team as well. IRMC is one of 4 teams that help promote the race. This means we helped with logistics, volunteers, officials, and helped bring people to the race itself.
On top of these efforts, IRMC placed 3 riders inside of the top 10 with 3rd, 4th and 10th place. The Elite men’s field was surprised to have 2008 Olympian and Protour racer Mike Friedman appear for the event. The team raced aggressively, placing multiple teammates in several moves during the early parts of the race.
