Just two weeks after winning the
overall IN state time trial championship, Gary Painter went into the state RR
with great form. Although he is
qualified to race the 55+ race, he wanted strong competition, so, he raced in
the 35+ race instead. About halfway into
the race, Gary got into a three man break with one teammate who was racing 45+
and another 35+ rider. Coming into the
finish, his teammate attacked, but with 2 miles to go, he was caught. The other rider attacked several times trying
to drop Gary, but couldn't do it. With 1
k to go, Gary counter attacked and rode away for the win. His teammate came in 3rd, winning the 45+
race. Great team effort and another
state championship for Gary.
