Kyle Mendenhall of 3-Sport bolted to the front of a five-man breakaway to win 
last night’s 24.8 mile Bryan Park Cycling Series’ A-Race. The winning group 
jumped to a 30-second lead, with six laps to go, after sprinting for a cash-bonus prime. 

Mendenhall praised third place Zack Zimmerman of Bike Doctor for his hard 
work pushing the pace.

"Zack made the race," Mendenhall said. "With one lap to go, we drafted him 
through the last hill to the final sprint."

Richmond Ciclismo’s Stephen Selby sprinted past Zimmerman to take second. 
Zimmerman held off fourth place Matt Dinsmore of Richmond Ciclismo and 
fifth place Mark Plourde of Conte’s in a fraction of second finish.

Local professional bike racer Wes Seigler of the West Virginia Cycling 
Team took the night off. Seigler is undefeated in this year’s A-Race. 
Seigler said he wanted to rest this week because he may race in an 
upcoming stage race in Asia. 

Wes King of Cobblestone sprinted a wheel length past second place Larry Lutz 
of Conte’s to win the 18.4 mile B-Race earlier that evening. Richmond 
Ciclismo kept the pace fast by sending riders ahead the pack throughout 
the race. At the end, the pack of riders grouped together for a cat and 
mouse game of drafting for the finish. 

"I just pushed to catch these four riders just in front of me," King said. 
"I was able to just keep my momentum going to get by them."

Two unattached riders, third place Charles Gobble and fourth place Mark 
Connelly, sprinted to the front just behind Lutz. Richmond Ciclismo’s Matthew 
Marchal, who at one point of the race held a 30 second lead, still had enough 
energy to sprint to the front of the pack for fifth.
